A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes 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 on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved 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 more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop 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 toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
