A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence 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 gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently 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, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
