A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce 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.
