A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute 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 buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing 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 area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first 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 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. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide 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 accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
