A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
