Chimney Cleaning FAQs
1. How do I know if my chimney needs to be cleaned?
If you smell smoke even when the fireplace isn’t in use, notice black buildup around the opening, or haven’t had a cleaning in over a year, it’s time to schedule a sweep. Regular use of your fireplace—especially with wood—can lead to dangerous creosote accumulation that should be removed by a professional.
2. What exactly is creosote, and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a flammable, tar-like byproduct of burning wood. It sticks to the interior walls of your flue and can catch fire if it builds up too much. Chimney fires can cause major damage and often go undetected—so removing creosote is one of the most important parts of chimney maintenance.
3. Can you clean a chimney that hasn’t been used in years?
Yes, and we recommend it before you light your next fire. Even unused chimneys can collect debris, animal nests, and moisture damage. A full sweep will remove blockages and make sure your chimney is safe and functional for the next burn season.
4. How often should I have my chimney cleaned?
That depends on how much you use your fireplace, but most homeowners benefit from an annual cleaning—especially if burning wood. If you use your system heavily or notice signs of buildup, you may need service more frequently.
5. Will chimney cleaning make a mess in my home?
Not at all. Our team uses specialized equipment and vacuums to keep the process clean from start to finish. We treat your home with care, and when we’re done, your chimney will be spotless—and your living room will look just like we found it.
