A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally needing 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. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
