What affects the price

The final price for your chimney service depends on a few specific things we look at once we get started. How long it has been since your last cleaning is a big factor, as more buildup requires more intensive work to clear out safely. The height of your chimney, how easily we can access the roof, and the overall design of your fireplace system also play roles in the effort required. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

A good sweep will check your damper, firebox, and chimney cap for signs of wear and tear. They identify potential hazards before they become expensive problems. If you have noticed cracks in your masonry or your fireplace isn't drafting as well as it used to, you should call a service company to assess the condition of your flue.
