A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions 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 and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
