A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing all the surface areas. 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 vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
