The technicians at Dr. Sweep excavate creosote buildup in chimneys and perform a fire-safety inspection to ensure thoroughness of the cleaning. All staff members have at least five years of experience, accumulating enough wisdom to adroitly brush out fireboxes and negotiate with hostile chimneys holding firewood hostage. The entire flue glistens anew after a by-hand cleaning, and technicians proceed to clear the smoke chamber, dust off the smoke shelf, and eradicate remaining soot with HEPA-filter vacuums. The scrubbing leaves homes safe from flammable creosote and ensures that smokes, vapors, and houseguests depart abodes successfully.
