A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
