A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air flow and this can enable 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 also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
