A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start 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 after that peel back a little portion 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, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much 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 becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue 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 inside.
