A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits 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 rods. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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 in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and also most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to prevent fires and toxic 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 fireplaces should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
