We make chimneys safe, clean, and efficient — for homes, fireplaces, and commercial properties. We explain everything clearly and provide honest recommendations without any guesswork.

Why Chimney Cleaning & Maintenance Matters

Regular chimney cleaning and maintenance keeps your home safe from fire hazards, smoke problems, and expensive repairs.

Every time you burn wood or use a fireplace, soot and creosote build up inside the chimney. Over time, this can block airflow and increase the risk of chimney fires. Small issues, like cracks or blockages, can turn into serious problems if ignored.

Our CSIA and NFPA certified team sees these issues frequently:

Heavy creosote buildup that can ignite
Blocked flues causing smoke in the home
Hidden cracks in masonry or liners
Moisture damage due to lack of maintenance

Annual chimney maintenance prevents all of these risks, keeping your home safe year-round.

3. Do I need a chimney inspection with cleaning?

Yes. We strongly recommend chimney inspection and cleaning together. Cleaning removes buildup, while inspection checks for cracks, liner damage, and airflow problems. This helps prevent fire hazards and costly repairs later.

4. What is creosote, and why is removal important?

Creosote is a flammable residue that builds up inside the chimney from burning wood. Even a thin layer increases fire risk. Creosote removal is a critical part of chimney maintenance and is handled by our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps.

Smoke test and draft testing check how well air moves through your chimney. Poor draft can cause smoke or carbon monoxide to enter your home. Our NFPA-certified professionals use controlled testing to confirm proper airflow and chimney safety.
