A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 then peel back a tiny 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 put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased airflow 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 trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical 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 level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
