Services - Chimney Cleaning

How often should my chimney be cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) recommends a yearly inspection and cleaning, with repairs done as necessary. Free standing wood stoves or fire place inserts used to heat the home should be inspected and cleaned as needed every year. Regular open fireplaces need to be maintained and cleaned on a consistent basis as well. Usually a cleaning is needed for every cord of wood burned or at least every 2-3 years.

How long will it take to clean my chimney and is there any MESS!!
It usually takes about an hour to clean most masonry chimneys. This time includes set up and removal of all equipment. . We guarantee absolutly NO MESS in your home. Pre-fab fireplaces typically take about 35-45 min.
Inserts can take 1-3 hours depending on how often they are cleaned, the type of wood burned, and the way the stove is operated. (Fires choked down to slow smolder type burning will produce more creosote, taking longer to clean.)
