Fireplaces, Stoves and Flue Sealing up Methods

Fireplaces, stoves, Flue pipes and access doors are all varying shapes, sizes and materials and as such we must have access to a variety of methods and techniques to seal them all for the purpose of a clean and safe sweeping process.

We all know that the vacuum we use is for dust control and pick up, however the vacuum is ineffective in a poorly sealed or large opening therefore we must be able to seal and encapsulate the area and still have access to chimney sweep through. Sealing the opening greatly increases the effect of the vacuum and causes an area of negative pressure inside when used. This negative pressure will suck outside air in in instead of the alternative which is soot pushing out.
