Complete Chimney Cleaning Services


Chimneys collect soot, creosote, and debris over time. Without proper cleaning, these materials can restrict airflow, damage your chimney, and dramatically increase the risk of chimney fires. Our team provides thorough cleaning for:

Fireplaces

Wood stoves

Oil heating systems

Gas heating systems

We remove dangerous buildup, improve ventilation, and ensure your chimney is functioning at peak performance.

Fireplace Cleaning for Safe, Enjoyable Use


A fireplace adds warmth and comfort to your home—but only when it’s properly maintained. Creosote, soot, and ash accumulate quickly, especially during heavy use.

Our fireplace cleaning includes:

  • Removing soot and creosote buildup
  • Clearing smoke shelf and firebox debris
  • Checking for blockages
  • Ensuring proper draft and airflow
  • Inspecting for signs of damage

We leave your fireplace clean, safe, and ready for use, so you can enjoy it with confidence all season long.

Wood Stove Cleaning to Prevent Creosote Buildup


Wood stoves burn hotter and produce more creosote than traditional fireplaces, making regular cleaning essential. Excess creosote is one of the leading causes of chimney fires.

Our wood stove cleaning service includes:

Full flue and stovepipe cleaning

Creosote removal

Firebox cleaning

Draft and airflow checks

Safety inspection for cracks or leaks

With 30 years of experience, we know how to clean wood stoves thoroughly and safely.

Oil and Gas Heating System Chimney Cleaning


Even if you don’t use a fireplace, your home’s heating system still relies on a chimney or venting system. Over time, oil and gas systems produce soot, residue, and blockages that can affect efficiency and safety.

We clean chimneys connected to:

Oil furnaces

Gas furnaces

Oil boilers

Gas boilers

Water heaters

Our cleaning helps:

Improve heating efficiency

Reduce carbon monoxide risks

Prevent blockages and ventilation issues

Extend the life of your heating system

A clean chimney means a safer, more efficient home.

Blockage Removal for Clear, Safe Ventilation


Blockages are a major hazard—especially when caused by animals, nests, or debris. A blocked chimney can lead to smoke backup, carbon monoxide exposure, and fire risks.

We safely remove:

Bird nests

Squirrel nests

Leaves and debris

Creosote blockages

Collapsed flue materials

Once cleared, we ensure your chimney has proper airflow and is safe to use.

Why Annual Chimney Cleaning Is Essential


Regular chimney cleaning helps:

  • Prevent chimney fires
  • Improve heating efficiency
  • Reduce smoke and odors
  • Prevent carbon monoxide issues
  • Extend chimney lifespan
  • Protect your home from costly damage.

Most homes need annual cleaning, but heavy fireplace users may require more frequent service.
