A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes 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 whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.
Our professional chimney specialists offer a complete variety of services including sweeping. We provide quick and reliable service.
Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
