Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning
Thorough creosote removal and flue cleaning that protects your home from chimney fires.

Professional Chimney Sweeping Done the Right Way
Every wood fire leaves creosote behind — a tar-like residue that builds up inside your flue and is the leading cause of chimney fires in America. Our sweeps clean the firebox, smoke chamber, flue, and cap using professional rotary equipment and HEPA-filtered vacuums, so your chimney is clean and your living room stays spotless.
What every cleaning includes
- Full sweep of the flue, smoke chamber, smoke shelf and firebox
- Creosote removal with professional rotary rods and brushes
- Drop-cloth and HEPA dust protection inside your home
- A visual condition check of the cap, crown and masonry, with photos
- Straightforward findings — if something needs attention, we show you; if it doesn’t, we tell you
How often should a chimney be cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) recommends every chimney be inspected annually and cleaned as needed. As a rule of thumb: if you burn a cord of wood or more per season, plan on a yearly sweep. Gas and oil flues need attention too — combustion deposits and blockages (like bird nests) don’t care what fuel you burn.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a chimney cleaning take?
Most sweeps take 45–90 minutes depending on the height of the chimney and how much buildup is present. We protect your floors and furniture and leave the hearth cleaner than we found it.
Will it make a mess in my house?
No. We work off drop cloths and run a HEPA vacuum for dust control the entire time. Mess-free cleaning is a point of pride for our crews.
When is the best time to schedule?
Late spring through early fall. You beat the autumn rush, appointment times are flexible, and your fireplace is ready the first cold night of the year.
