A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being 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 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. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts 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 different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
