A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes 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 off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin 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 then peel back a small area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
