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 create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes 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 dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic 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 begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing 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 comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
