Why chimney sweeping exists as a trade
Every time wood burns, it leaves behind creosote — a dark, tar-like residue that coats the inside of your flue. Creosote is highly flammable, and enough buildup can ignite inside the chimney itself, a leading cause of chimney fires nationwide.
Even outside of fire risk, buildup restricts airflow and pushes smoky odors back into your living room instead of up and out.
- Removes flammable creosote buildup
- Eliminates smoky odors indoors
- Restores proper draft and airflow
What our chimney cleaning covers
We sweep the full flue, not just the firebox, and check for obstructions like nests or debris that can block draft entirely. Every cleaning includes a visual check for obvious damage so you know if anything beyond cleaning is needed.
We recommend cleaning at least once a year for regular fireplace use, ideally before the first cold snap.
- Full flue sweep, not just the firebox
- Obstruction and nest check included
- Recommended annually before burning season
