A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on 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 after that peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place 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 extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified 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 annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
