A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to prevent 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 buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on 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 area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up 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 hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow 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 cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
