A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually 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 then peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
