Steve Jackson, better known as The Village Sweep, stands atop the main object he works with -- a chimney -- on top of a Dundee home. Herald News Service photo by Scott J. Brooks Chimney sweeps have gained in popularity in recent years as home owners have become more energy conscious. Sweeps Q) Problems like cracked tiles can lead to more serious troubles. Heat can escape through the cracks into bricks, which act as conductors for the heat. If wooden rafters or support boards are near­ by, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can reduce the wood's resistance to heat and increase the chances of spontaneous combustion. "A lot of people don't realize that," Jackson said. Getting people aware of the dangers involved with dirty chimneys is part of a sweep's job. They fill out inspection sheets which advise home owners on what repairs or safety measures are needed. This protects the owner/provided he follows the advice, and the. sweep if the owner neglects to use the recommendations and a1 fire results. " * ' "A lot of people feel it (having a chimney swept) is not necessary because they don't understand the dangers. "I've seen chimneys that are full of holes and if the creosote builds up on the other side, there's wood there. If the creosote catches, a fire in a wall is pretty hard to put out. (Continued from page IB) "There are ways to install a chimney so the creosote buildup is less. The hazard there is people think it's safer and keep putting it (sweeping) off. They laugh at me when I tell them to get their chimney cleaned. Some think the top hat and tails is a clown outfit I take this seriously," Ryan said. Some European countries have laws making swept chimneys mandatory. "I'm opposed to forms of regulation, but it makes people aware of it. There are a lot of fly-by-nights out there," Ryan said. Despite the troubles chimney sweeps can meet on the job, neither wants to pack away his brushes. "This is the type of business where we pass information around. We're still learning. I'm part- time. I reaily love answering queslfcM about fire safety. I work hard at that," Ryan said. "I've had nothing but good luck since I put on that top hat," Jackson added. "It's good work and I meet a lot of people with five or six customers a day, seven days a week. There are slow times, bad times, but all in all, I wouldn't trade this for anything. I'll be a chimney sweep for as long as I can." Charge i Hanes® support, light support stockings & pantyhose. Support stockings. Reg.4.95 ... 4.10 Support pantyhose reinforced toe.
