A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops 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 becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally requiring 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 becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
