A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate 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 result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
