A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional 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 sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes requiring 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air movement and this can enable 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 also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
