A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
