When to Clean Your Chimney
Winter is most families’ favorite time to indulge in hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire. Since fireplaces are used so often during that time of year, it’s essential to clean your chimney beforehand to ensure it’s safe for use.
The best time for a chimney deep-cleaning is in the spring or summer, off-seasons for fire-burning. You should also clean your chimney before moving into a new home to ensure it’s in a safe condition.

Signs You Need Chimney Cleaning
Want to know if you should call us for chimney cleaning? Here are some telltale signs you should call our experts for an inspection and cleaning:
MORE EFFORT IS REQUIRED TO KEEP THE FIRE GOING
When you find yourself tending your fire all the time or having trouble starting it, your chimney probably has some buildup and doesn’t get enough airflow. Without proper ventilation, the fire will not get enough oxygen to last.
YOUR FIREPLACE SMELLS LIKE A CAMPFIRE
A deep cleaning is usually necessary when you smell the scent of a campfire even when there’s no fire in the fireplace.
YOUR FIRE BURNS ODDLY OR UNEVENLY
When your fire burns differently, it can be a sign that it needs an inspection or cleaning.
YOUR ROOM IS FILLING WITH SMOKE
Even with your flue open, if smoke seems to be filling the room, stop using the fireplace and have it inspected and cleaned as soon as possible.
THE FIREPLACE WALLS HAVE OILY MARKS
The presence of oil spots on the fireplace walls indicates that creosote is present. Creosote is a substance left over after the burning of wood and it is hazardous if it builds up to an excessive level.
THE FIREPLACE DAMPER IS BLACK
Typically, creosote build-up appears as a darkened chimney damper. The damper covers the flue and prevents smoke from leaving the chimney.
THERE IS EVIDENCE OF PESTS
Please stop all use of your chimney immediately if you suspect a pest has taken up residence there and get in contact with our team for an inspection.
How We Clean Your Chimney
What Happens During a Chimney Cleaning
Here are the steps we take to clean your chimney to protect your family & home.
Chimney Inspection
Whenever we clean, we always begin with a thorough inspection. We look to make sure everything appears good before we start removing soot and other contaminants.
We prioritize safety. Our experts have seen a wide range of problems and potential hazards. They recognize what to look for and when to recommend certain repairs. Whenever you receive the diagnostic report and estimate for repair, we always take the time to explain our findings and provide recommendations. We will let you know immediately if any issues come to light during our inspection.
Chimney Cleaning
When we are done with our inspection and you are satisfied with the results, we then clean your fireplace from the roof down and from the inside out. We remove every last bit of dirt and debris to guarantee a cleaner, well-functioning fireplace.
It takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to clean your unit. Sometimes, units are in good condition and only require a quick cleaning, while other jobs require more time.
If there are any special instructions you should follow in the days prior to your scheduled chimney cleaning, you will be notified when you schedule your appointment. We recommend you refrain from burning your chimney for at least 24 hours beforehand. We recommend scheduling your chimney cleaning in the off-season so you aren’t without heat a day before your cleaning.
