A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 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 sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
