A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand 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 and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
