A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch 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 rods. Usually 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops 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 more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
