A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place 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 carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch 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. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 after that 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 sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases requiring 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
