If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
