A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, 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 suggests having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
