A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much 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 even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about 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 degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
