A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
