A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete 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 start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes 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 dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
