A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and 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 residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops 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 ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
