During chimney-sweeping services, fearless technicians clamber onto residential rooftops—if possible—or cleanse flues from below, tackling hazardous creosote buildup using wire brushes attached to long fiberglass poles. As a tarp protects the floor surrounding the hearth, a HEPA-filter vacuum sucks up tumbling soot to ensure an efficient, clean operation. An inspector then assesses the entire smokestack, from the chimney to the damper and smoke shelf, before delivering a written evaluation and any maintenance recommendations. Additional charges, though rare, may be assessed for extremely steep roofs, very tall chimneys, or fireplaces that lead to alternative dimensions. Duct-cleaning services evict debris from air-distribution systems with industrial-grade equipment. After an initial furnace inspection, a vacuum attached to the furnace creates negative air pressure throughout the system. Special air wands then blast dust from the branch lines, and a small hole drilled in the main line—safely plugged by an old wine cork after the procedure—allows a thin air whip to scour the vents. Desperate debris is pushed toward the waiting vacuum to be whisked away, thereby enhancing the home’s efficiency and safety, extending the furnace's lifespan, and creating a cleaner flow than Mr. Rogers’s slam poetry. Though Twin Cities Furnace Cleaning sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
