A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple 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 creates decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
