A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, 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 after that peel back a little portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, 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 accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
