A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up 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, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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 accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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 as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop 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 also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
