A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses 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 off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
