A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases needing 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up 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 also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
