A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting 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 brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
