A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, 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 chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. 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 vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, 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 accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
