A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. 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 house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses 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 dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surface areas. 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 and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
