A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing all the surface areas. 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
