A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
