A chimney sweep will 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 as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually 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 technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. 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 variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
