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 and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air movement and this can permit 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 even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
