A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
