A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and 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 protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow via 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 unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house 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 build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
