A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger 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 yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective 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 technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney 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 plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
