The NFPA and CSIA recommend a professional chimney sweep at least once a year, or after burning roughly one cord of wood. Homes that use their fireplace heavily may need cleaning more often.
A strong smoky odor, poor draft or a smoky fireplace, black soot or creosote flakes in the firebox, and debris or animal nests in the flue all signal it’s time for a sweep.
Creosote is a flammable, tar-like residue that forms as wood burns. Heavy buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires, which is why regular sweeping is essential for safety.
Most residential cleanings take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on buildup and chimney condition. We use drop cloths and HEPA vacuums to keep your home clean.
