A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose 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 dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 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, 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, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up 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 also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
