Chimney Cleaning

Who can forget the wonderful characters in the Walt. Disney classic "Mary Poppins"? Those happy-go-lucky chimney sweeps led by Dick VanDyke have told millions of movie goers about the good fortune sweeps can bring.

The lucky legend of chimney sweeps is traced back to merry Olde England where regular chimney cleanings are required by law. Chimney sweeps have prevented accidental chimney fires and earned the reputation of being the bearers of good luck.

"There are so many stories about the luck of the chimney sweeps," says Dave Reed, owner of Whempys. "They say that it' s good luck to have a sweep in your house on Friday the 13th. Even a shake of my hand is supposed to have good luck."

Chimney sweep folklore can be found throughout English and American history books. Legend has it if a sweep passes the church during a wedding, the marriage will be filled with luck and happiness.

And if find a bristle from the chimney brush in the fireplace, you can be sure to have good luck the rest of your days.

But the folks at Whempys rely on more than luck: they rely on their 28 years of experience cleaning chimneys.
