does anyone have this to clean their chimneys?

[Kype]

last year i paid $250 to get my wood stove chimney cleaned. the guy used something similar to this brush. he cleaned my chimney from the bottom up, and i dont blame him. i wouldnt want to get up on my roof to clean mine either. i have a very high roof. i found this tonight, for about the price of two cleanings i can buy one and do it my self. anyone have one or used one?

when i lived at my dads i always used the regular fiberglass rods and brush and got on the roof, but his roof was nothing compared to my roof.

Do any rental shops carry this?

interesting. havent thought about that, but id rather buy it and always have it. price of two cleanings and it pays its self off. no big deal.

I use the screw together fiberglass rods with the brush on the end. Slide it up from the bottom inside the house. Very easy.

I just use a brush and expandable flex rod

You can buy it and do members chimneys for $100.00 a pop or trade for ammo. Pay for itself in no time.

I do mine with a homemade contraption I made.  I use the brush part from tractor supply that I have attached to a 35 foot peice of very heavy duty conduit fish tape that broke of a giant 500 ft spool. Go up from the bottom. Very easy to do! after paying someone to do it the first time and watching  how quick and easy it was and what they charged me to do it I felt like a fool!

yeah i agree. i always cleaned my dads chimney when i lived there. but my house is ridiculous high and im not going up there. no way in hell. plus the pitch of my roof is very steap.

I just had a window weight hanging off the bottom of the brush and lowered it down the chimney on a chain.   That seems like a lot of $$ for a snake.  I bought a 50' heavy duty septic snake for something like 30-40 bucks.  Would just need a way to fit a flexible brush on it

Once I have grandkids Ill just lower them down with some brushes........

Pretty cool.

I use the local chimney guy to clean the fireplace chimney and pellet stove pipe. He even sticks the camera up there to check on things.
