A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surface areas. 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
