A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective 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 service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney 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 small area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
