A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each 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 prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
