A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes 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 on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
