A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin 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 then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
