A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also 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 shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very 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 through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up 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 gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
