A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose 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 cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
