A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
