A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance 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 more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause 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 level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
