Chimney Sweeping Services

A Fireplace Insert is a manufactured fireplace – basically an airtight wood stove – that is designed to fit within an open fireplace and has a metal "surroundings" that covers the remaining area of the fireplace opening. They have a stainless steel chimney liner connected from the top of the insert to the meridian of the chimney. Inserts are much more than efficient than an open fireplace and usually much safer to operate.

Cleaning Fireplace Inserts

The Main Sweeping and Cleaning, "How We Clean" section all applies. The information below is specific to fireplace inserts.

– The chimney is normally lined with a circular, flexible, stainless steel liner pipage that connects the top of the insert to the pinnacle of the chimney. The liners tin be many different sizes, but modern inserts nearly always use 5 or 6 inch diameter liners.

– These liners are swept with polyester brushes to prevent scratches on the inside of the liner.

– We utilize a size and stiffness of brush appropriate to the type and volume of creosote.

– Inside the fireplace insert is always some sort of bamboozle or damper system. These are removed both to make clean the baffles as well equally the within top of the insert.

– The insert is fully cleaned, brushed and vacuumed on the inside.

– The glass in the door is cleaned and the surround is wiped downwardly.

– All ashes, creosote, and debris are removed from the insert and taken with us.

– The hearth and area around the front of the fireplace insert is vacuumed and cleaned.
