A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner 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 brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
