A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a small area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
