A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year 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 are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial 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, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence 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 accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue 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 within.
