A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly 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 service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and 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 trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney 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 little 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 moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance 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 comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
