A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach 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 dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 area of the vinyl 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 relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
