A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as 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 once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
