A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole 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, very carefully cleaning 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates 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 cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
