A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases requiring 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. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
