A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, 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 recommends having your chimney inspected and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective 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 technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
