A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, 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 recommends having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful 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 ought to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
