A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 then peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved 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 at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical 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 performed is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
