A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, 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 becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
