A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup 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 area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
