A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet 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, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes 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 becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
