A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned 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 much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also 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 could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
