A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete 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 technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate 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 even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and 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 developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
