A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally needing 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 becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
