A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective 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 technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, 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 after that peel back a little area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
