A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept each 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 also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surfaces. 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 sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
