Chimney Sweeping

Chimney Sweeping

Chimney sweeping is a crucial maintenance task for households that utilize fireplaces or wood-burning stoves. The primary purpose of chimney sweeping is to remove accumulated soot, creosote, and other debris from the chimney flue. Over time, as wood or other fuels burn, they release byproducts that can adhere to the inner walls of the chimney. This buildup not only diminishes the efficiency of the chimney but also poses a serious fire hazard.

Chimney sweeps may be summoned to address issues like chimney blockages caused by bird nests, leaves, or other foreign objects, which can impede proper airflow and ventilation.
