A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get 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 space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated 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 begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates 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 even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
