A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. 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 promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
