Here I thought these guys would be on the roof sticking long poles down the vent chute. Good luck I thought, that roof is steep! Instead the reliable (that means they showed up when they said they would) chimney guys took care of everything from indoors via a snakelike gizmo with a course wire attachment thingie on the end. The chimney pipe must be twenty feet from floor of the wood stove to the top exhaust on the roof.
All the soot was brushed to fall into the whatchamacallit area and sucked up with a shop vac. I can't find the words today. Been doing tax bs, and impatient/frustrated. All in all I got an assessment of my wood stove, good or bad...passed the test. I feel more at ease now that I know how to operate the thing more efficiently and properly.
The owner...Sidney. Note the ponytail. Very nice group of guys and I appreciate their timeliness. Five stars! A rarity here in the hills.
I have a similar story. We bought a house recently and the chimney was so dirty like it was not cleaned since the house was made. We had no other option then calling a chimney cleaning team. I asked my neighbor if they know some service providers and they told me about Mad Hatter Services (http://www.madhatterservices.com/). These guys came in 2 hours, well dressed and well equipped. All the work was done properly. My chimney is working more efficiently now.
