A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
