A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and 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 get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surfaces. 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

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 more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
