A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.
Our professional chimney specialists offer a complete variety of services including sweeping. We provide rapid and reliable service.
Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about 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 degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
