A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 little area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence 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 poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
