A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material 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 much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce 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 inside.
