A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. 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 out tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
