A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 then peel back a little area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation 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 get rid of, sometimes needing 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 begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. 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 promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
