Chimney sweep
A chimney sweep is a licensed, certified professional who has all the necessary knowledge and tools to clean any chimney. There are quite a few things you’d have to know about your chimney before cleaning it yourself, let alone buying the right brush.
That’s why most fireplace owners would rather pay a professional chimney sweep – someone who already has the know-how and the array of brushes and rods needed to really get down in there and do it right. A certified sweep will ensure no chimney fires will be starting in your chimney.
If you’ve already a dangerous chimney fire and were able to extinguish it without any property damage, you will need a professional chimney sweep to clean and inspect your fireplace before lighting another fire in there. A sweep will do all the hard work for you and tell you anything you need to know about the anatomy of your chimney.
