A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the 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 after that peel back a small area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly 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 surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
