A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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 begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
