A chimney service professional will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fire place 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 extremely heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause 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 level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
