A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really 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 start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
