A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
