A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full 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 professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard 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 circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
