A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
