A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. 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 shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should 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 inside.
