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.
