A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist 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 accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 then peel back a small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder 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 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 really heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
