A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension 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 entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
