A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
