A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger 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 checked and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 sheeting and use a variety 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 brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
