A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective 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 service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up 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 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. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
