A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally 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 vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
