A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start 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 portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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 start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. 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 carried out is the very best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
