A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
