A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surface areas. 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially 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 becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, 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 various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
