A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
