A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on 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 small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate 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 yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
