A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts 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 more difficult to remove, sometimes needing 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas 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 gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical 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 level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
