A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up 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, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
