A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation 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 fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
