A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. 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 out tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet 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 starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases needing 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
