A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once 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 faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
