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
When researching companies, look for a local team that focuses on thorough inspections and safe removal of debris. A good provider will check for structural cracks in the liner and ensure your damper is functioning correctly while they clean. You should reach out to a professional sweep if it has been over a year since your last service or if you are moving into a new home and want to ensure the fireplace is safe to use.

What are the signs of a dirty chimney?
Look for soot and creosote buildup on the inside walls of your chimney or flue, especially after use. You might also notice a strange smell coming from the fireplace when it's not in use. Visible debris falling into the fireplace is another sign. If you see these, it’s time for a cleaning.
