A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. 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 tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally 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 then peel back a little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as 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 quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can enable 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 bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
