A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned 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 in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow through 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 unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop 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 even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
