A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely 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 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 hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
