A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 after that peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
