A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective 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 specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes 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.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 then peel back a little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring 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 begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
