A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform 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 buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 then peel back a little area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, 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 comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
