A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to avoid 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 inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
