A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then 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 outside. 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 poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes 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 hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
