A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting 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 off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
