A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective 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 service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes 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 dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.
Our professional chimney specialists supply a complete variety of services including sweeping. We provide fast as well as trustworthy service.
Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
