A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
