A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept every 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 are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
