A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate 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 also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
