Why should you clean your chimney?
Cleaning your chimney is a prime way to find out if there’s a fire or safety hazard that puts your family at risk. By working with an experienced chimney sweep and repairing anything that could present an issue down the line, you are keeping your loved ones in safe hands.
Not only can a Tualatin chimney cleaning service remove every spec of debris and any dangerous buildup, but it also offers an opportunity to inspect your chimney for cracks and other damage. Cracks can cause fires, even in the most durable, high-quality masonry chimneys and fireplaces. You may not see the cracks if they are high up in your chimney, which is where professional-grade cleaning equipment comes in. If a repair is needed, your cleaner will take care of it for you and make sure that your fireplace is safe to be around.

When to Clean Your Chimney
Cleaning a chimney is a dangerous job–a job for a professional. Work with a certified chimney technician in Tualatin to ensure your chimney fits the highest safety standards and is completely free from creosote, debris, and other things that could start a fire. Murphy’s Fireplace & Stove’s technicians are nationally certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), so you can trust that if anything is out of order with your chimney, we’ll find it (and let you know).
If your chimney or fireplace are not functioning at their best, you likely have buildup that needs to be cleaned, or a repair is in order. Schedule a cleaning to ensure everything is as it should be. The ideal time to clean your chimney is in the spring or summer when you’re less likely to use your fireplace. Another time to clean your chimney is if you are moving into a new place. It’s just as important to inspect your chimney beforehand as it is to clean your chimney annually (or every 36 fires–whichever comes first).

Signs You Need Chimney Cleaning
From a pest invasion to residue buildup, your chimney’s condition can change a lot over the course of a year. We recommend cleaning your chimney right away if any of the following sounds familiar:
There’s a black substance on the inside of your fireplace.
This residue (creosote) is the top cause of chimney fires. You’ll want to be extra wary of creosote and buildup if you have a wood-burning fireplace. Enough soot, dirt, and debris can prevent air from entering the flue in the proper way. This can bring smoke and debris into your living space and contaminate the air you breathe in, which is far from safe.
The campfire smell sticks around even when the flames are out.
Smoke should never enter your home. The only direction it should go is up and out the chimney. If the flue is open, and smoke is still sneaking into your living room, we recommend cleaning your fireplace right away to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
You’ve noticed nests or other signs of animals.
Despite how you place the wood into the fireplace, you may have higher flames on one side, which swirl around to the other side without touching some of the wood. This indicates that a chimney cleaning is in order, as there could be an obstruction in your chimney that’s affecting the airflow and how your wood burns.
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
Your chimney cleaning will begin with a routine inspection so that our technicians can identify any cracks or maintenance issues that present a safety concern. We’ll let you know if anything needs repaired and provide all the necessary details in a diagnostic report.
Don’t worry. If there are any pressing safety concerns, we’ll let you know immediately. With your permission, we will also tackle them with our repair service.
Chimney Cleaning
The chimney deep-cleaning starts after your inspection is complete. We’ll be sure to provide instructions beforehand, such as avoiding your fireplace for at least 24 hours before the appointment. We promise to keep your living space clean by using drop cloths and tarps. Those will protect the floor from any debris that could endanger your family or pets (or make a mess of your living space).
Expect the cleaning to take about 20 minutes to an hour, though plan for additional time if your chimney hasn’t been serviced in a while. We’ll extract any debris, creosote, and other buildup that could prevent your chimney and fireplace from giving you the relaxing fire experience you’re looking for this upcoming season.
