A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch 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. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise 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.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
