A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation 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 area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the chimney 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 then peel back a tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, 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 really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
