A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
