A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also 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 residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, 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 start on top of the chimney and work downward, 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate 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 even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
