Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

What process will your Chimney Sweep follow when they come service your chimney?
Chimney-sweeping in reality may not be as exciting as it appears to be when seen on the television in Walt Disney movies or in animated cartoons. But it is really a must for a house to be healthy and fine. A clean chimney would not only prevent chimney-fires, but it could help prevent the whole house catching fire.

A soot-suit could never be everybody's idea of an adventure, and this is where some professionals could prove to be helpful. But if you are prepared to dip yourself in all the grime that accumulates up a chimney, get set for one of the oldest professions of the world. At the end of the day, you would be removing the creosote that is found on chimneys.

Cleaning a chimney
The process of cleaning a chimney begins with measuring it with a measuring-tape. This is important because it would determine the kind of wire chimney brush one would get to clean a chimney. Wire chimney brushes come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You would have to choose one that fits the shape and size of the chimney you have.

The most commonly used brush for chimney-cleaning is a wire bristle chimney brush. They make cleaning chimneys easier and the process a lot more paced. Flat wire bristle chimney brushes are somewhat stiffer but make scraping better and easier. Poly chimney brushes are used in metal chimneys.

You would also need to be sure what exactly needs to be done to the chimney to deliver positive results. A thorough inspection would reveal whether any repairs require to be made in the chimney. And most importantly, the creosote deposited over time needs to be cleaned. A good brush would only be an effective way to achieve your goal.

When it comes to removing ash particles from the shoot, a shoot vacuum might come handy. A filter traps all dirt and dust, leaving the owner's home clean and tidy. The frequency of the use of the fireplace would determine the frequency of the cleaning required. Ideally, it is done once in a year, but situations might ordain a second or third cleaning of chimneys. The process of cleaning could take up to two hours at a time.

A fireplace ablaze with a warm fire would be a luxury in winters, so it would be a lot better to prepare for all this in the summer. Cleaning a chimney while the fireplace is active would not be possible. The summer season is the best for cleaning chimneys. It leaves your home with the ideal heating in winters.
