A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 area of the plastic sheeting 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 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, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
