A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. 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 dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
