A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce 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 within.
