A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting 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, cleaned 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, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as 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 harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. 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 quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done 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 recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
