A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute 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 build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes 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 off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being 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 hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
