A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum 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 industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch 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. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
