A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, 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 more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing 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. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
