Chimney cleaning ensures you can use your chimney safely during any season and have peace of mind that nothing will go wrong once the fire gets going. However, is it always a messy procedure that needs hiring another home cleaning contractor to sort things out? Learn more in today’s post from chimney relining and cleaning contractor Chimney Doctors.
Professional chimney sweeps, particularly those certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), are trained to perform chimney cleaning without leaving a trace of mess behind. These professionals have performed numerous chimney cleaning procedures with minimal messiness and always use specialized equipment to ensure they leave your home as they found it.
Before the chimney cleaning process begins, homeowners can take several steps to facilitate a smooth and quick cleaning service. Moving decor and furniture away from the fireplace area, removing breakable items and providing clear access from the entryway to the fireplace are vital preparatory steps. Your cleaner will most likely cover them in plastic and drop cloths to keep your belongings clean and free from soot once the dusting and sweeping begins.
Chimney professionals come equipped with tools that minimize the mess during chimney cleaning. They may use plastic or drop cloths to block your fireplace entrance before activating high-efficiency industrial vacuums to ensure that soot, ashes and debris are contained and removed without dispersing into the living area.
Homeowners can expect a small amount of soot, dust and even creosote to appear on their flooring and the plastic or drop cloth covers on their furniture and on their roofing material. However, a reliable chimney cleaning company like Chimney Doctors always cleans up after they’ve finished ensuring your chimney and fireplace is in good shape and free from blockage, dust, ashes and creosote.
