A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surface areas. 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes 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 really hot. Solidified 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 flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
