A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the chimney 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate 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 also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, 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 withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
