A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes 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 on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable 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 examined at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
