A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
