A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on 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 area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
