A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl 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 give fast as well as reliable service.
Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start 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 unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home 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 gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical 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 carried out is the very best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
