What affects the price

Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Chimney cleaning is the essential process of scraping away flammable creosote deposits that accumulate inside your chimney liner over time. If you use your fireplace frequently, this buildup can restrict airflow and pose a significant fire risk. We perform a deep cleaning to ensure your fireplace vents smoke and dangerous gases outside efficiently. We recommend this service at least once a year or whenever you notice a significant amount of soot buildup.
