A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory 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 withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
