A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause 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 checked and also swept every year in order to protect against 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 get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start 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 vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
