A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against 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 method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
