A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
