A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective 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 professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned 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 in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
