A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed 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 and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on 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 small area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops 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 comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
