A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft 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 sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance 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 builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
