A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. 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 quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
