A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed 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 and swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
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 also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
