A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that 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 trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes needing 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
