A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective 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 professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 plastic 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 brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
