A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney.

If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
