A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked 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 examined as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range 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 brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. 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 frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
