Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Benefits of hiring a Chimney Sweep vs. doing it Yourself
It is of utmost importance to get your chimney cleaned and swept occasionally. This would be an essential task to ensure the safety of your family members and to ensure the efficiency of the fireplace. In the normal course of time, some soot and creosote always deposits itself on chimneys. It is highly combustible, and unless cleaned occasionally, could lead to chimney fires and the whole household could end up in a fire. Regular maintenance of your chimney ensures a good flow of air and improves the performance of the fireplace. Ideally, chimneys need to be cleaned at least once in a year.

Cleaning Chimneys Yourself
It is always possible to clean a chimney by yourself, granted you have all the tools. This could be a really strenuous job involving a lot of patience and perseverance on your part. It would require you to go to the rooftop, and peek down the dark and dismal chimney. If the creosote is at least 1/8 inches thick, it is time for the chimney to be swept.

Doing it yourself would also involve a comprehensive inspection of the chimney for nests of birds or squirrels that might be there. You might have to use a flood-light to do this. You would need to determine the shape and size of your chimney too to determine the precise tools that are going to be required. A dust-mask and goggles would be an addition to the special suit you put on to clean your chimney.

Be sure to cover the house furniture with sheets and tarp to prevent them getting soiled with all the soot and filth that would drop down the chimney.

It would involve you getting into a lot of dirty mess and climbing up and down dirty chimneys is certainly not a pleasant time, to say nothing of the unhygienic condition you would be coming across. There are a lot of safety issues that need to be addressed too. The tricks of the trade are not as easy as it seems to be when seen in movies or animated films.

It would be a lot better to let a trained professional do all the dirty work. A dirty chimney fosters the formation of carbon monoxide in the air in the household, which could be detrimental to the overall health of your family members. A clean chimney would be the gate to your happiness and to your home's good health.

It would be the best option to invite professionals to do the job of cleaning a chimney. Professionals usually begin with a thorough inspection of the chimney to assess the kind of equipment and tools they would require in the process. The general idea of a chimney-sweep is a little boy who is covered in soot and dirty to look at. But this has changed. Modern professionals involved in cleaning chimneys are well-dressed and clean and tidy. They take care of all that would be hampered while they do their job of cleaning chimneys. They have all the modern tools and techniques required for cleaning chimneys. They cover all the furniture in the house with a clean cloth before beginning the cleaning process.
