A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap 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 rods. 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
