A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range 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 brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced 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 trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
