A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
