A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material 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, sometimes 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 extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
