About Our Chimney Cleaning Service

Creosote is the byproduct of burning wood. Every fire deposits a thin layer inside your flue. After a season of regular use, that layer can reach dangerous levels. Stage 3 creosote — a tar-like glaze — won't brush off and requires chemical treatment. Our certified technicians inspect the full flue system, remove all deposits using industry-grade rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums, and leave no mess behind. The NFPA 211 standard recommends annual cleaning for wood-burning appliances. We follow that standard on every job.

What's Included

  • Removes creosote and soot that cause chimney fires
  • Improves draft and reduces smoke backdraft into living areas
  • Extends the life of your flue liner
  • Satisfies insurance and home-sale inspection requirements
  • Reduces carbon monoxide risk from blocked flues

Chimney Cleaning FAQ

The NFPA 211 standard recommends annual inspection and cleaning for any chimney in use. If you burn more than two cords of wood per season, twice a year is safer.
