Q: "Why do I need a professional to clean my chimney?"
Common folklore tells of tales of farmers sending chickens down the flue to clean out the soot. Though that may be amusing, it is not effective nor is it too considerate of chickens. Seriously, as in any other home maintenance task, it can usually be done by the homeowner, but not sufficiently or with satisfactory results.
Chimney professionals have the proper tools and the knowledge to properly maintain your chimney system and diagnose potential and existing problems that could lead to trouble down the road. Remember, your fireplace is an open flame in your home, and as the old saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.
