A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
