Albany-- Colder weather means chimney sweepers are staying busy and dirty.
Although they work year-round, Turner's Chimney Sweep has been extra busy since the end of September. Right now, David Turner cleans between 10 and 15 chimneys a week as people begin to fire up their fireplaces for winter.
It's a dirty job as he gets last year's buildup out, but he says it's necessary to keep homes safe.
"Creosote can build up inside of the chimney and can spark a chimney fire and also puts off a bad odor. It should be done about every two years," said Turner.
Turner also suggests keeping ashes cleared out of the fireplace and putting a cap on top of the chimney to keep birds and rain out.
