A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on 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 plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally 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. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house 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 accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
