A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing 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 plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance 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 much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow 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 also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
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 hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
