A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner 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 rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
