A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts 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 get rid of, 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 comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
