A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. 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 residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, 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 home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
