A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually 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 begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 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 moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home 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 gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
