A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. 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 execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up 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 even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
