A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the 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 plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
