A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. 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 protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
