A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages 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 advises having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
