If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a small area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even 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 start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
