A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the 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 portion 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, cleaned 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 accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes 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 really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
