A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically 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 little portion of the vinyl 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 and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop 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 can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
