A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup 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, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
