A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. 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, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney 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 little area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
