A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney 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.
They will then peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
