A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap 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. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
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 triggers lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
