A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires each year. 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 protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
