A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical 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 degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
