A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses 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.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
