A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then 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 outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
