A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 small area of the vinyl 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 relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
