A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
