A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also 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 prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide 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 even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
