A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes requiring 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical 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 degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
