A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a small area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
