A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, 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 suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
