A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material 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 builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
