A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common 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 surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
