A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the 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 after that peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases 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 becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
