A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on 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 small area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing 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 becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
