People may advise you to hire an NYC chimney sweep for routine maintenance. However, once they're up there working on your chimney, it may seem like a mystery what they're doing. You may worry that a lot of soot will be falling through your chimney and onto your floor, or worse--that they'll get trapped up there. But not to worry! Neither of those things will likely happen. As long as your fireplace and heating system were installed correctly, there will not be a lot of soot coming from the chimney during the sweep. Also, as long as the chimney sweep has been properly trained, they will be safe.
The chimney sweep will do two things during the sweep. They will clean out all of the soot, as well as inspect the system to make sure it's working properly. The entire process usually only takes between 10-30 minutes. It's certainly worth the investment, especially if you use your fireplace often. Soot buildup can cause chimney fires, which are extremely dangerous.
