A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing 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 becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even 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.
