A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
