A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get 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 out tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
