A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin 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 then peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
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. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
