A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally needing 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
