Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We’re looking for blockages, damage, wear patterns, and safety issues. You get a clear explanation of what we find, with photos when needed.

Then we discuss your options. If you need cleaning, we’ll remove creosote buildup and debris safely. If there’s damage, we’ll explain the repair options and what happens if you wait.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned and inspected?

You should have your chimney inspected annually, regardless of how much you use it. Cleaning frequency depends on usage—if you burn wood regularly, you’ll likely need cleaning every year or two. Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning but still require annual safety inspections. Even unused chimneys need periodic checks because animals, weather, and time can create safety issues. The key is catching problems early, when they’re cheaper and easier to fix.
Call immediately if you smell gas or notice white staining on your chimney exterior—that’s efflorescence, indicating water problems. Another warning sign is when smoke enters your room instead of ascending the chimney. Rusted damper or firebox, cracked chimney crown, or animals/birds in the chimney all need prompt attention. If your chimney cap is missing or damaged, don’t wait—water damage gets expensive fast. Strange odors from the fireplace, especially in summer, often indicate creosote buildup or moisture issues.
Basic chimney cleaning typically runs $200-400, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. If we find issues during inspection, repair costs vary widely—minor flue repairs might add $100-300, while major problems like liner replacement can run $1,000-3,000. We always give you a clear estimate before starting any work beyond the basic cleaning. The positive news is that regular maintenance prevents most expensive repairs. Catching problems early saves you money.
Chimney cleaning involves more than just removing debris—it requires proper equipment, safety knowledge, and the ability to identify potential problems. You’re working on a roof, handling specialized brushes and vacuums, and need to recognize signs of damage or safety issues. Most homeowners don’t have the right tools or experience to do it safely and thoroughly. Professional cleaning also includes inspection for cracks, blockages, and other issues that could create dangerous situations if missed.
Yes, gas fireplaces still need annual inspections even though they don’t produce creosote like wood-burning fireplaces. The venting system can develop blockages from debris, animals, or weather damage. Gas connections and controls need safety checks. The chimney structure itself still faces weather exposure and potential deterioration. Carbon monoxide poisoning is actually a bigger risk with gas appliances if venting isn’t working properly, so professional inspection is vital for safety.
Cleaning removes creosote, debris, and obstructions from your chimney and fireplace. Inspection examines the entire system for damage, wear, and safety issues—including the chimney structure, flue liner, damper, cap, and surrounding areas. You need both services, but not necessarily at the same time. A thorough inspection might reveal that cleaning isn’t needed yet, or cleaning might uncover damage that requires repair. Most professionals combine both services during annual maintenance visits for efficiency and cost savings.
