Chimney Cleaning

Why do I need my chimney swept?

Regular chimney sweeping removes soot, creosote, and blockages that can cause dangerous chimney fires or prevent proper ventilation. It’s essential for safety and efficiency.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual inspection, with cleaning as needed—especially if you use your fireplace frequently.

What is creosote and why is it dangerous?

Creosote is a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood. It builds up inside chimneys and significantly increases the risk of a chimney fire if not removed.

How long does a chimney sweep take?

Most cleanings take between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the buildup and chimney condition.

Is chimney cleaning messy?

Not at all. We use professional tools and vacuums to keep your home clean and dust-free throughout the process.

How can I tell if my chimney needs cleaning?

Watch for signs like:

  • Strong, smoky odors
  • Soot or debris falling into the fireplace
  • Difficulty starting a fire
  • Excessive smoke inside the home
  • Black, shiny buildup in the flue
Can animals get into my chimney?

Yes. Birds, squirrels, and raccoons may nest in chimneys. We check for and remove any obstructions as part of the sweep.

Do you offer chimney inspections?

Yes, we offer both Level 1 and Level 2 inspections for routine maintenance, home sales, or following a chimney fire.

Can you sweep gas fireplace chimneys too?

Absolutely. Gas appliances can still experience vent blockages or deterioration. We recommend annual inspections even for gas units.
