A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off 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 soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin 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 then peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
