A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 after that peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and 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 substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
