A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 then peel back a small area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also 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 forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
