A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, 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 as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow 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 trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
