A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed 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 inspected as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.
Our professional chimney experts offer a complete variety of services including sweeping. We provide quick as well as reliable service.
Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common 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 exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
