A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl 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, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
