A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop 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 also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
