A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes 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 dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
