A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound 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 ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even 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. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
