A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, 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 hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
