A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits 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 different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas 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 poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. 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 quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
