A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to 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.
