A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective 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 technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal 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 dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney 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 small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
