A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases requiring 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through 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 hazardous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about 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 strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
