A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total 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 start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being 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 hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
