A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually 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 then peel back a little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be 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 extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
