A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates 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 even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
