A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most reliable way to eliminate 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 the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
