A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch 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. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes requiring 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house 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 toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
