The primary purpose of sweeping a chimney or flue for a wood burning system is to remove dangerous formations of creosote. Creosote is a combustible substance that is generated by incomplete combustion of wood. In general, it will be produced in relative proportion to the amount of wood that is burned.

My chimney hadn't been inspected or cleaned for decades, so I was expecting the worst when John came. He explained possible scenarios and cost for each. However, upon inspection the only problem found was a bunch of cobwebs obstructing draft. John did not try to "upsell" me into an unnecessary cleaning beyond removing the cobwebs. I was very impressed with his honesty and professionalism. You can't go wrong with his service.

I had a very good experience with John, he was very professional, polite, punctual and very knowledgeable about all the questions I had. He was a bit reluctant to help at first because we're just outside his service area, but he came so highly recommended by my cousin that I called him back and tried again. My parents and I are very happy he agreed to work for us and we feel very well prepped to use our freshly-cleaned fireplace the next time it snows!
