A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective 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 technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing 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 start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as 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 quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
