A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing all the surfaces. 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing 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 comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
