A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do 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 start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe 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 promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
