A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. 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 home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases requiring 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 and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
