A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and 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 technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet 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 brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop 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 result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous 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 level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
