A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. 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 vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause 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 triggering).
The most hazardous 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 level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
