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
A chimney sweep is a professional maintenance service focused on removing creosote, soot, and debris from your flue. This process is critical for preventing chimney fires and improving the airflow of your fireplace. Most homeowners need this service once a year to ensure the system is clear and functioning. We use industrial vacuums and brushes to clean the chimney thoroughly, leaving your home as clean as we found it.
