A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires each year. 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 professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, 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 smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed 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 the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
