A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
