Will sweeping make a mess in my living room?

No. We seal the fireplace opening and run HEPA vacuums throughout the sweep, so soot goes into our equipment — not onto your floors or furniture.

How long does a chimney sweep take?

Most sweeps take about an hour, including the camera inspection before and after.

I have a gas fireplace. Do I still need this?

Gas flues collect far less residue than wood, but they still need periodic inspection for blockages, corrosion, and nesting debris. We check gas flues too.

When is the best time to book?

Late spring through early fall — you get the best availability and your chimney is ready before the first cold night. We sweep year-round though.

Chimney Sweep & Cleaning

Chimney Sweeping, Done the Clean Way

Every wood fire leaves a little creosote behind — a tar-like residue that coats the flue and builds up layer by layer. It restricts draft, holds that stale campfire smell, and because creosote is flammable, fire-safety standards recommend having chimneys inspected every year. We sweep the full flue with rotary brushes, keep your living room sealed behind HEPA containment, and show you camera footage of the result.

Chimney Cleaning — Common Questions

Fire-safety standards recommend an inspection every year, with sweeping whenever creosote has meaningfully built up — typically after every cord or two of wood burned.
