What affects the price

We look at the total height of your chimney, the level of creosote buildup inside the flue, and the specific type of fireplace or wood stove you have installed. If your system requires extra repairs, damper adjustments, or a specialized animal nest removal, that will naturally adjust the total. We believe in transparency, so you will get your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Professional chimney cleaning is a maintenance process that clears out soot, creosote, and animal nests from your fireplace or stove pipe. Keeping your chimney clear is essential for preventing carbon monoxide leaks and house fires. Most experts recommend a professional inspection and cleaning annually or after every cord of wood burned to ensure your fireplace remains safe to use throughout the winter months.

Summer is often overlooked, but it is actually a great time to service your chimney. Technicians have more availability, making it easier to book a time that fits your schedule. Additionally, clearing out debris before the rainy season helps prevent moisture-related issues that can lead to unpleasant odors or structural damage. Get your maintenance handled while the weather is clear.
