A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened 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 and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
