A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional 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 technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes needing 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 becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful 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 avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
