A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
