A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as 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 once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes 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 comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
