A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also 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 advises having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes needing 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also 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, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
