Chimney Cleaning & Inspection Services.
Why Is Chimney Cleaning Important?
Your chimney is a vital part of your home’s heating system, but it’s often overlooked. A dirty chimney can lead to dangerous situations, such as fires, carbon monoxide leaks, and poor air quality in your home. Regular chimney cleaning and inspections are essential to keep your chimney functioning safely and efficiently.
Here’s why you should schedule a chimney cleaning and inspection:
​
-
Fire Prevention:
-
Creosote, a highly flammable substance that builds up inside the chimney, is the leading cause of chimney fires. Regular cleaning removes this dangerous buildup, significantly reducing the risk of a fire in your home.
-
-
Carbon Monoxide Safety:
-
Blocked chimneys or air vents can cause carbon monoxide (CO) to back up into your home. This colorless, odorless gas is extremely dangerous and can be fatal if not detected. A thorough chimney inspection ensures there are no obstructions that could cause dangerous CO levels.
-
-
Improved Heating Efficiency:
-
A clean chimney allows your heating system to work more efficiently, helping to maintain warmth and comfort in your home. Dirty chimneys can reduce airflow, which can impact your fireplace’s ability to burn effectively.
-
-
Long-Term Savings:
-
Regular cleaning and maintenance help avoid costly repairs or replacements in the future. A well-maintained chimney lasts longer and requires fewer emergency repairs.

Initial Assessment:

Our trained experts begin by inspecting the exterior of the chimney, checking for any visible damage or issues. We also check for overgrown foliage or obstructions around the chimney that could interfere with the cleaning process.

-
Inspection:
-
After cleaning, we perform a detailed inspection of the chimney’s interior. This includes checking for cracks, blockages, and any signs of damage that could compromise the chimney’s safety. If we find any issues, we’ll provide you with a full report and recommend next steps.
-
-
Final Check:
-
Once cleaning and inspection are complete, we conduct a final check to ensure the chimney is fully functional and safe for use. We’ll also give you tips on how to maintain your chimney in the future and prevent unnecessary buildup.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Cleaning.
While we recommend regular annual cleaning, there are signs that your chimney may need attention before the scheduled cleaning:
-
Heavy Soot or Creosote Buildup:
-
If you notice a strong, smoky odor when using your fireplace, or if there’s visible soot or black residue in your fireplace, it’s time for a cleaning.
-
-
Difficulty Lighting a Fire:
-
If your firewood isn’t burning efficiently, or you find that it takes longer to start a fire, there may be an obstruction in your chimney.
-
-
Smoke Backing Up Into the Room:
-
If smoke enters your living space rather than being drawn up the chimney, it’s a clear sign that your chimney needs cleaning and possibly a full inspection.
-
-
Cracked or Damaged Chimney:
-
Any visible cracks, missing bricks, or other damage to your chimney could signal the need for urgent cleaning and repairs.
