A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally requiring 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 really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
