A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery 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 get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can permit 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 bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
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 must be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
