A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages 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 suggests having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about 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 causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
