A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages 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 inspected and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses 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. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material 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 accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
