A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension 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 dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
