A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause 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 checked and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and 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 service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 then peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated 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 begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be 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 hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various 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 fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
