A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. 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 also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
