A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
