A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 then peel back a small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance 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 accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
