A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal 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 trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin 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 and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
