A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
