The purpose of sooting is to remove combustion waste accumulated in chimneys and fireplaces so that they do not pose a fire hazard. The sweeper takes care of the fire safety of the properties by cleaning fireplaces and chimneys. In addition, he checks the safety distances, reports any deficiencies and defects he finds, and guides the users of the fireplace. In order for sweeping to be carried out safely, the ladder leading to the property's chimney must be in good condition. They must be properly fastened and sufficiently strong. The sweeper has to move on the roof in all seasons and a roof that is slippery by rain, for example, is very dangerous. The condition of the ladders and access bridges is the responsibility of the property owner. It is the responsibility of the property owner or occupier to periodically order a soot remover to perform soot cleaning in the building. The fireplace and its flues must be sooted every year. Fireplaces and flues in holiday homes and saunas must be cleaned every three years. If the holiday home is intended for non-private use, they are also subject to a one-year interval in sooting. In addition, a fireplace and chimney that have not been used for three years must be sooted before use. The area rescue service decides on the organization of sweeping services and supervises sweeping in its area. Porvoon Nuohouspalvelu Oy, Urakoitsijantie 15 B 4, 06450 PORVOO
