A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
