A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension 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 dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
