A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surfaces. 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins 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 remove, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
