A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
