A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective 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 tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
