A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions 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 recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum tube 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 outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.
Our expert chimney experts offer a complete variety of services including sweeping. We offer rapid as well as dependable service.
Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally requiring 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 becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified 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 once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
