A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
