A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute 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 build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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 start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
