A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace 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 are not recommended. They will not remove 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush 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 cleaning all the surfaces. 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet 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 moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing 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 very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
