A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing 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 small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe 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 diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
