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 trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably 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 quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently 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, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
