A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate 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 even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
