A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger 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 examined as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits 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 hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. 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 promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
