A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
