A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting 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 initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
