A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup 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 space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses 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 on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 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 up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
