A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind 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 advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally 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 extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up 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 bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
