A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally 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 plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially 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 requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently 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, moisture, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
