A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 then peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases requiring 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 comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
