Chimney Cleaning

Does your house smell like smoke, even when you don’t have a fire lit? 

Do you have a foul smell coming from your fireplace? 

If you answered yes to either of these questions, your chimney may be lined with creosote, the soot byproduct of burning wood.

With our professional chimney sweep cleaning service, your house will stay safe. 

The National Association of Chimney Sweeps emphasizes that regular chimney sweeping is crucial for both safety and efficiency, and the recommended frequency depends on several key factors: the type of chimney, fuel used, hours of operation, appliance type, and wood moisture content.

To ensure optimal performance and to prevent dangerous creosote buildup, they strongly recommend the following cleaning intervals:

• Every three months for wood or coal-burning fireplaces.
• At least once a year for smokeless fuels.
• Once a year for oil and gas fireplaces.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can protect your home and loved ones while enhancing the longevity of your chimney system.

Every fireplace inevitably produces creosote with regular use. While this is a natural occurrence, soot accumulation can pose serious hazards. A significant buildup can obstruct airflow, severely diminishing the efficiency of your chimney and fireplace and heightening the risks of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Given that your chimney is likely to be used more frequently during the winter months, it’s crucial to prioritize its care. Set a reminder on your phone to schedule an annual chimney cleaning or inspection before the winter chill sets in. 

If you are uncertain about the last time your chimney was serviced, don’t wait for a problem to arise consider a professional chimney inspection. We recommend having this inspection performed each year to ensure your home remains safe and your fireplace operates optimally. Our standalone chimney inspection service is specifically designed to meet your needs, separate from our regular chimney sweeping. It provides you with peace of mind and the assurance that your fireplace is ready for use.
