A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-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 buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
