A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes 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 begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow 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 jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure 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 as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly 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 every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
