A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring 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 becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased airflow and this can allow 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 even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
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 need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
