A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 small area of the plastic 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 brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
