Chimney Cleaning and Safety

Our Chimney Cleaning Process

Our chimney cleanings are more than just a sweep and go. Every cleaning includes a full service inspection and when applicable, a camera inspection to evaluate areas not visible to the naked eye. At the conclusion of your visit, you'll receive a detailed checklist outlining:

~The condition of your chimney and flue

~Any areas that need attention or repair

~Confirmation if your system is safe and ready for use

How often should you schedule a cleaning?

How often your chimney should be cleaned depends on how frequently you use your fireplace or stove.

~Annual cleanings are recommended if you burn wood regularly or have 10 or more fires per season.

~If you burn very frequently, your chimney may need to be checked or cleaned quarterly to prevent excessive creosote buildup and potential fire hazards.

Regular maintenance helps ensure safe operation, proper draft, and long-term protection of your chimney system.

When Should You Stop Burning Immediately?

You should stop using your fireplace or stove right away and schedule an inspection if you notice any of the following:

~Smoke backing into the home

~Strong or unusual odors while burning

~Poor draft or difficulty keeping a fire lit

These signs can indicate blockages, creosote buildup, or other issues that may compromise safety.
