A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
