A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 then 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 put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. 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 quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
