A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial 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 brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 then peel back a small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
