A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl 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 begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first 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 requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must 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.
