A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 vinyl sheeting 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 tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally 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. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
