A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up 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 poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
