A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
