A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surface areas. 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 range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
