A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing 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. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up 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 also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly 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 fire places need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
