A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective 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 service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 after that peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
