A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and 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 house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared 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 at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
