A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally 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 comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
