A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the 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 portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
