A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. 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 also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases requiring 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up 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 also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
