A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot 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.
