A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surface areas. 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 small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared 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, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes 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 extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
