Sweep Your Chimney

The sweeping of the chimney flue is mandatory by law. To do it, you need to be well equipped: sweeping brush, nylon or steel brush depending on your installation, ash collector, etc.

How to Sweep Properly?

First, prepare yourself with an ash vacuum, broom and dustpan, and trash bags.
Then, use the sweeping rod necessary for your flue installation, either with a nylon brush or a steel brush. It is possible to change the brush at the end of the sweeping rod considering its dimensions.

Who Should Sweep the Chimney?

You can sweep your chimney yourself with sweeping materials and flue accessories, however, the sweeping certificate can only be issued by a professional sweeper.
To do this, contact a sweeper who will perform the verification by filling out a chimney sweeping safety document.

When to Sweep Your Chimney?

The chimney sweeping must be done once a year by a professional or by yourself. To ensure that your chimney flue is in good condition and not blocked by soot or ash, you can slide a brush from the roof of your house through the chimney flue or use specific smoke tablets.
