The chimney flue is essentially a household exhaust pipe - funneling away soot, hot ashes, smoke and gases from your home. Over time, it gets blocked by creosote or soot buildup, or it may get birds or animals stuck inside. 

We recommend an annual inspection and clean to ensure you have no cracks, holes, or faults and to remove blockages.

Our Chimney Sweep includes:

​A thorough power clean of your chimney
Removal of all flammable substances
Removal of birds nests
Structural integrity assessment
Leak test
Debris inspection and analysis
Safety test
Greasing and sanding of chimney cowl

​We can provide a written report upon request.

Frequently asked questions

• What can I  expect on the day of my chimney sweep? The chimney sweep will first tarp off the area surrounding your stove or fireplace. He cleans from the inside up with his brushes. After the sweep is finished cleaning he will inform you of any issues and/or make recommendations for repairs.
• How long does a chimney sweep take? Residential fireplaces take about 20 minutes to an hour, depending when last your chimney was cleaned and how much it has been used. Whereas commercial chimneys will take longer based on length and frequent usage. Remember the more fires you burn within the fireplace the more frequently it will need to be swept. Do not wait, soot buildup is highly flammable!
• Does the chimney sweep need to come inside the house?​ Yes. We also need access to a working electrical outlet.
