A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach 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 dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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 really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up 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 accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly 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 exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
