A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes 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 clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
