A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. 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 residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum 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 cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
