A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared 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 accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. 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 promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
