A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft 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 range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home 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 gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
