A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and 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 build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces 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 residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
