A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect 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 on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally 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 variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
