A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material 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 comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
