A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 small area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also 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 hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
