A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home 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 accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against 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 effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
