A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute 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 build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing all the surface areas. 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts 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 get rid of, sometimes needing 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 really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
