A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.
Our professional chimney specialists supply a full variety of services including sweeping. We provide quick and dependable service.
Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance 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 becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
