A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also 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 shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney 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 then peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally needing 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. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement 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 dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
