A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the 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 after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops 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, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also 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 troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
