A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective 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 specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
