A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
