A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home 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 could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
