A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
