A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 tiny area 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 moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
