A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
