A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
