A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved 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, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
