A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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 begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
