A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the 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 little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally 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. Hardened 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 through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create 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 within.
