A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective 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 protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally 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 then peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow 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 dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
