A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation 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, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting 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 build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
