A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not get 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, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
