A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach 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 dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet 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 accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
