A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
