A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also 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 specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a little area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally requiring 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous 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 degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
