A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, 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 sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace 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 via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
