A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. 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 tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
