A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree 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 way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
