A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
