A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surface areas. 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow 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 places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need 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.
