A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal 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 trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often 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, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
