A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
