Emergency chimney sweep — Manchester, NH
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
The final price for your chimney service depends on a few straightforward factors. 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.

What are the signs of a dirty chimney?
Signs of a dirty chimney include visible soot and creosote deposits inside the flue, often appearing as black, tar-like buildup. If smoke is backing up into your home instead of going up the chimney, it's a clear indication. A musty or smoky odor, especially when the fireplace isn't in use, also suggests a dirty chimney. If your fireplace isn't drafting well, call us for an inspection.
How often should my chimney be swept?
Your chimney should ideally be swept annually, especially if it's used regularly. Even with occasional use, an annual inspection is recommended. Heavy use, such as burning wet wood or frequent fires, will necessitate more frequent cleanings. A good rule is to have it checked at least once a year to ensure safety and efficiency. Call us to schedule your routine service.
