A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

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 accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
