A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surfaces. 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 area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
