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

Professional chimney services involve a thorough sweeping of the flue and an inspection of your fireplace structure. This process removes flammable creosote deposits that accumulate over time from burning wood. It is recommended to have this done annually to keep your home safe and your fireplace operating efficiently. If you smell smoke or see soot falling into the firebox, it is time for a visit. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
