A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. 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 house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance 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 remove, occasionally 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 extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
