A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace 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 do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
