A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally 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.
They will then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.
Our professional chimney specialists provide a complete variety of services including sweeping. We provide quick and trustworthy service.
Creosote is a brown, 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 accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes requiring 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 comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
