A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes 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 dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet 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 substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation 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 wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate 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 bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous 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 ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
