A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
