A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
