Chimney Sweeping
Report
What most people picture when you ask them about chimney sweeping is either a young lad covered from head to toe in soot or a tall skinny guy a.k.l. Dick Van Dike in "Mary Poppins", again covered from head to toe in soot. This was a very accurate picture up through the centuries. However, in the last few decades cleaning a chimney has become a much more high tech industry than most people realize.

In fact, you might need to repair the crown, the caps, the firebox, the flue, the flashing around the base of the chimney where it intersects with the roof or the brick and mortar. This is why it's important to have a chimney inspection done to identify exactly what is causing the particular issue.
