A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops 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 requiring 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 comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
