A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. 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 vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
