A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on 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 sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home 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 cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
