A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow 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 cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
