A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept annually 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 advised. 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing 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 plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
