A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 after that peel back a small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes requiring 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate 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 gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
