A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
