A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. 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 sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas 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 incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
