A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits 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 rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
