What is a Chimney Sweep?

Simply put, a chimney sweep is a person who clears ash and soot from chimneys.

Chimneys may be straight or contain many direction changes, making some difficult to clean.

During regular operation, a creosote layer builds up inside the chimney, restricting the flow. The creosote can also catch fire, setting the chimney and the building alight.

This is why the chimney must be swept (cleaned) to remove the soot.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Sweeping

Benefits of Using Alliance Masonry for Your Chimney Sweeping

• Prevent a chimney fire. Chimney fires can reach a temperature of over 2,000 degrees, damage a chimney, and start a house fire.
• Prevent corrosion of the chimney system. Soot and creosote are acidic and will deteriorate metal and mortar. 
• Prevent smoke problems. The build-up of soot and creosote in a chimney reduces its diameter and restricts its flow capacity. This could keep smoke from properly exiting via the chimney.
• Increase efficiency. Soot and creosote in a chimney can also affect the optimum draft for efficient heating. In wood stoves, soot and creosote can act as an insulator and restrict the full amount of heat produced from entering the room.
• Reduce foul odors. Soot and creosote can smell awful, especially in wet weather.
• Promote better chimney inspections. A build-up of soot and creosote can cover up cracks and other damage and deterioration in a chimney, so it is recommended that it be cleaned before a proper inspection is done.
