A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing all the surface areas. 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
