A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective 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 home by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up 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 accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
