A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder 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 becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
