A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach 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 dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 small portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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 accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
