A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally requiring 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air movement and this can permit 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 trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
