A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney.

If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and 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 professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch 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. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surfaces. 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally 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 surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
