A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
