A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes requiring 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
