INFORMATION

The Importance of Routine Chimney Inspections

Fireplace cleaning is the process of removing soot, residue, creosote, and debris from the firebox, flue entry, and surrounding components. Our CSIA-certified technicians follow NFPA standards to ensure fireplaces are clean, safe, and ready for operation. Fireplace cleaning helps reduce fire risk, improves airflow, and prevents smoke and odor issues.

Fireplace cleaning differs from chimney sweeping. Chimney sweeping focuses on the flue system, while fireplace cleaning addresses buildup within the firebox, glass, brick, and immediate venting areas. Gas fireplace cleaning and wood-burning fireplace cleaning also differ in scope. Gas cleaning focuses on burners, glass film, and residue, while wood-burning cleaning removes soot, ash, and creosote deposits. We commonly find soot buildup, creosote residue, cloudy fireplace glass, and stained brick caused by regular use and moisture exposure. Homeowners, real estate professionals, and well-known local figures rely on our certifications, professional equipment, and detailed reporting.

What’s Included in Your Chimney Inspection

Creosote Removal

Creosote removal eliminates flammable residue left behind by burning wood. Removing creosote reduces fire risk and improves fireplace safety and performance.

Soot Cleaning

Soot cleaning removes fine black residue from fireplace surfaces, helping prevent odors, smoke issues, and indoor air quality concerns.

Flue Brushing

Flue brushing clears residue and debris at the lower flue area where buildup commonly begins. This step supports proper draft and safe venting.

Firebox Cleaning

Firebox cleaning removes ash, soot, and residue from the combustion chamber. A clean firebox improves efficiency and reduces fire hazards.

Brick Cleaning

Brick cleaning restores the appearance of fireplace masonry by removing soot stains and discoloration without damaging the brick surface.

Code Compliance

Fireplace cleaning services are performed in alignment with current code requirements. Code compliance concerns are often identified during inspections and property sales.
