A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
