A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected 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 truly not effective and also 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 home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal 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 catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes requiring 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. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
