A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 then 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. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once 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 harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
