A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney 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 little area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off 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 initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
