The Process of Cleaning Your Chimney

At the start of every chimney or fireplace cleaning, we conduct a comprehensive 21 point inspection that involves inspecting the entire length of the fireplace structure and providing a detailed report. To prepare for the cleaning process, our technician will place a protective cover in front of your fireplace and use a heavy-duty vacuum to clean up all dirt and debris, including soot and creosote buildup on the bricks. The technician will then use brushes and sturdy rods to eliminate any remaining creosote and complete the sweep. The entire cleaning process typically takes less than two hours, and we guarantee that there will be no mess left behind, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our customers.

What are the reasons to consider hiring a professional chimney sweeper?

Professional chimney sweepers offer various services to ensure the safety of your home’s fireplace. A comprehensive chimney sweep involves removing soot and creosote buildup, as well as other hazardous substances such as calcium deposits and residues from burned wood or other natural materials that could be detrimental to your health. Creosote, which can be sticky and flammable, is a potential fire hazard when exposed to high temperatures.

What is the recommended frequency for cleaning your fireplace chimney?

The recommended frequency for cleaning your fireplace chimney depends on factors such as usage and type of fireplace, but it is generally advised to have a professional inspection every 1-2 years regardless. The National Fire Protection Association mandates that chimneys, fireplaces, and vents must be inspected and cleaned at least once annually to ensure safety. Regular chimney maintenance can prevent future damage. In the US, there are approximately 25,700 fires annually caused by burning nonrenewable fuel sources near chimneys, resulting in 30 deaths and over $137 million in property loss each year.

What is a Fireplace Insert?

A fireplace insert is a self-contained appliance that can be fitted into an existing wood fireplace, and it is essential that a professional install it. You can fuel the insert using gas, wood pellets, wood or electricity with a simple button touch. The installation of a fireplace insert is an ideal solution if you want to eliminate soot, ashes and odor that come with a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Moreover, it improves the efficiency of your fireplace by reducing the chimney outlet, which results in containing and radiating heat back into the room. This is unlike traditional fireplaces, where the majority of the heat escapes up the chimney flue.

Gas Insert

To install a gas insert, a gas line must be run to the fireplace and proper ventilation must be provided. If natural gas service is not available, a liquid propane (LP) tank can be installed to fuel the fireplace.
