A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also 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 each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on 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 then peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
