A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive 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 cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common 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 exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
