A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial 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 brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally requiring 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow 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 even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
