A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical 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 degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
