A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes 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 dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 brown, oily, tar-like compound 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 more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, 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 withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful 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 avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
