A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
