A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really 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 begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
