A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
