A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 then peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, 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 couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
