A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed 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 checked as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft 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 plastic sheeting and use a variety 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 material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally needing 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 comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to 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 inside.
