A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. 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 expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney 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 little area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. 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 promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
