A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. 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.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
