Frequently Ask Question
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.
