A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases needing 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
