A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform 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 begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
