A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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 at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
