A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
