A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and 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 shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. 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, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop 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 build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even 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 within.
