A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes needing 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 comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous 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 quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against 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 fire places ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
