A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect 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 brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 small area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms 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 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased airflow and this can enable 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 also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
