A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
