A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
