A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
