A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also 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 shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy 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 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide 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 trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
