A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do 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 accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the 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 then peel back a little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased 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 also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
