A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually 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 after that peel back a little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic 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, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
