What affects the price
Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Commercial kitchens require much more frequent cleaning than residential fireplaces because grease builds up rapidly in the ventilation system. This service involves degreasing the hood, ductwork, and exhaust fan to meet local fire safety codes and insurance requirements. If your restaurant operates daily, you likely need a professional crew to maintain your vents every few months. This prevents dangerous flare-ups and keeps your kitchen staff working in a safe environment that complies with health regulations.
