A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept yearly in order to protect against 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 build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses 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 dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous 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 causes diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your house 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 accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
