A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger 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 annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation 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, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
