Chimney Sweep

Sweeping and inspection that removes creosote and catches hazards before they become problems.

About this service

Why it matters

Every fire leaves creosote behind on the inside of your chimney. Left to build up, it restricts airflow and is the leading cause of chimney fires.

A professional sweep removes that build-up and gives us a chance to spot problems early: cracked tiles, damaged caps, animal nests or water getting in. We keep your home clean while we work, with drop cloths and a dust-controlled vacuum.

Questions

Common questions

How often should my chimney be swept?

The national safety standard is to inspect at least once a year and sweep as needed. Heavy wood burners often need a sweep every season.

When is the best time to book?

Spring and summer are ideal. Fall fills up fast once the weather turns, so booking early gets you ready before heating season.

Will it be messy?

No. We use drop cloths and a dust-controlled vacuum, and clean up before we leave.
