A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 after that peel back a little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
