A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
