A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via 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 unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective means to remove 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 examined at least yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
