A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full 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 begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even 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. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
