A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up 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, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
