A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney.

If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-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 are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. 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 rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
