A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
