A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove 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 home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated 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, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. 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 swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
