Sweeping your Chimney

We love helping families enjoy the warm, cozy moments by the fireplace safely. This is why we have maintained a “customer is always right” policy since our first day in 1980. With easy scheduling, skilled technicians and state of the art equipment, we make the whole process as simple and enjoyable as possible for you.

How often should chimneys be cleaned?

We generally recommend for our customers to have a sweep done on an annual basis, or more often if the fireplace is used more frequently, or if at least a chord of wood has been burned. This is also the recommendation of the National Fire Protection Association.

Reasons to keep your chimneys clean.

Creosote builds up inside the chimney/fireplace and is a fire hazard, it is also the leading cause of house fires in the US. A lot of people think that they don’t need to have a sweep performed because they have not used their fireplace, but cob webs as well as bird droppings and nesting can also be a safety/fire hazard.

Highly Skilled Technicians

Our technicians always prepare clean work areas before starting to stop all suit from leaving your fireplace. In addition, we use powerful state of the art equipment to remove all soot before it ever leaves the air, as our technician sweeps through your chimney.

Also if the customer has any large furniture that could be obstructing the access to the fireplace itself, that it been moved at least six feet away from the fireplace.
