A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
