A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected 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 really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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 begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence 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 gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally 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 promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
