A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also 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 suggests having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually 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 start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, 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 outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surfaces. 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 sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
