A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When 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 unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence 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 accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
