A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and 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, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue 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 within.
