A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush 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 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 after that peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material 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 accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide 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 also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. 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 quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
