A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, 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 suggests having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually 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 service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
