A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective 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 specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surface areas.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
