A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not get 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 residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound 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 more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
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. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
