A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material 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 accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
