A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
