A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup 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 room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved 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, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate 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 also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
