A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. 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 specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
