A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
