A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow 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 even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable way to remove 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 examined a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
