A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start 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 up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved 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 begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened 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 movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
