A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally 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 comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
