A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common 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 exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
