A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial 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 whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved 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 build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even 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. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
