A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 after that peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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 and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
