A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages 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 and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, 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, 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 then peel back a little area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes 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 air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
