A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial 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 clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
