A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via 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 harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up 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 result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
