My neighbor had a stove instullation last year that I helped him with. A couple of days ago he had a so called professional installer/sweep come out and do an inspection and cleaning. The inspector said all is well with the stove but the chimney is seriously filled with creosote ! That was a bald faced lie as I cleaned his chimney 3 times last year to help him out. When we looked it was very clean for this winter. Any how my neighbor decided to go ahead and have it done anyway. The sweep used what is called a chain flail in a stainless liner it fell out of the drill and destroyed his stove baffles. I am positive you should never ever do that to any liner. Is this a common practice ? They wont refund him or pay damages. Any how here is a video of something similar. I was not home when they did this but from the description it looks like what the guy in the video is doing except he had a stainless liner.
