What We Do — Cleaning
Chimney Cleaning
Soot, creosote, and blockages cleared out — so your fireplace draws clean.
Why It Matters
Creosote buildup is the #1 cause of chimney fires. A proper sweep removes the soot, loose debris, and glazed creosote that collect on the flue walls every time you burn a fire — and it's the single best thing you can do to keep your chimney safe between now and your next fire.
What's Included
Here's what chimney cleaning covers.
Full soot & creosote removal
We brush and vacuum the entire flue, smoke chamber, and firebox — not just what's visible from the hearth.
HEPA-filtered containment
Drop cloths and a HEPA vacuum keep soot out of your living room, every time.
Animal & nest removal
Birds, raccoons, and squirrels love an uncapped flue. We clear it and can fit a cap so it doesn't happen again.
Written sweep report
You get a plain-language summary of what we found and what (if anything) needs follow-up.
Our Process
How we do it, step by step.
Protect your home
Drop cloths go down from the hearth to the firebox before a single brush comes out.
Sweep top to bottom
Rotary or hand brushes break loose soot and glaze along the full length of the flue.
HEPA vacuum & haul-away
Everything that comes loose gets vacuumed and bagged — none of it stays in your house.
Visual check & report
We flag any cracks, gaps, or damage we see while we're in there, in writing.

Questions we hear a lot.
How often should I get my chimney cleaned?
Most manufacturers and NFPA guidelines recommend once a year for regular use, or after burning roughly a cord of wood — sooner if you notice a strong odor, slow draft, or visible soot fall.
How long does a chimney sweep take?
A standard sweep usually takes 45–90 minutes, depending on how much creosote has built up and whether we find anything that needs a closer look.
Is chimney cleaning messy?
It shouldn't be — we lay drop cloths from the hearth to the firebox and use a HEPA vacuum, so soot stays contained instead of landing in your living room.
