A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared 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 accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
