A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective 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 professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
