A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, 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 examined and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
