A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
