A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally 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 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 vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as 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.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to 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.
