A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really 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 start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot 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.
