A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a small 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 relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
