A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.
Our professional chimney experts provide a full variety of services including sweeping. We provide quick as well as dependable service.
Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very 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 also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
