A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup 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 area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 after that peel back a little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl 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, feathery accumulation 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 remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
