It’s generally recommended to have your chimney cleaned at least once a year. However, if you use your fireplace frequently, more regular cleanings might be necessary to ensure safety and efficiency.

Common signs include visible cracks in the masonry, water damage, a rusted damper or firebox, and spalling bricks. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to get a professional inspection as soon as possible.

It’s not safe to use your fireplace if your chimney is damaged. Doing so can increase the risk of a chimney fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. We recommend scheduling a repair service before using your fireplace.

Our chimney cleaning service includes removing soot and creosote from the chimney liner, firebox, smoke chamber, and damper. We also perform a visual inspection to check for any potential issues.

Most chimney cleanings and minor repairs can be completed in one to two hours. More extensive repairs might take longer, and we can provide a time estimate after an initial inspection.
