A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned 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 in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
