A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. 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 area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally requiring 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 becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought 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.
