A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
