A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 small area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing 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 comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
