A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly 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 service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
