A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, 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 on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 small portion 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 moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of 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 examined a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
