A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surface areas. 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 small 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, cleaned off 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, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
