A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 after that peel back a little area 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, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
