A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages 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 suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes 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 off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney 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 vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated 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 in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as 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 irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
