A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up 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 area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surfaces. 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
