A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause 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 yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
