A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally 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 then peel back a small area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
