A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
