A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start 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 brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. 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 rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
