A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off 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 catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
