It's recommended to have your chimney inspected and cleaned annually, regardless of usage frequency. This yearly maintenance helps prevent hazardous creosote accumulation and other potential blockages.

Chimney cleaning is crucial as it removes soot, creosote, and debris that can impede airflow and pose fire risks. Regular maintenance also enhances heating efficiency and helps prevent smoke-related issues inside your home.

A typical chimney cleaning service encompasses flue sweeping to remove soot and creosote, fireplace debris vacuuming, a basic chimney and flue inspection, and an optional video inspection for a more thorough assessment.

Generally, a chimney cleaning appointment lasts about 45 minutes per flue. However, this duration may vary based on the chimney's condition, fireplace type, and any issues discovered during the service.

For safety reasons and to facilitate communication, our technicians request that the homeowner or another responsible adult be present during the cleaning process.
