A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective 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 house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned 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 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, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces 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 inside.
