Chimney cleaning is essential for maintaining a safe and efficient fireplace or heating system. Here’s a brief overview of what it involves: Inspection: Before cleaning, a thorough inspection is conducted to check for any structural damage or blockages. This can include examining the liner, flue, firebox, and smoke chamber. Cleaning Tools: Common tools used include a flue liner brush, long-handled brush, shop vacuum, and safety equipment like goggles and a harness. Removing Soot and Creosote: The primary goal is to remove soot and creosote buildup. Creosote is a highly flammable substance that can cause chimney fires if not regularly cleaned.
