A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just 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 every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
