A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about 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 level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
