A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the plastic sheet 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 tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also 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 accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
