A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off 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 initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally 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 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 flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
