A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 little area 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 relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
