A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing all the surface areas. 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 vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened 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 also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
