A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically 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 after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes 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 very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
