Missouri's housing stock often includes older homes with traditional brick chimneys, alongside newer builds. These older structures may require specific attention to ensure the flue liner is intact and the chimney is structurally sound. Our cleaning process begins with a visual inspection of the chimney exterior and interior. We then use professional-grade brushes and vacuums to remove accumulated soot and creosote from the flue. The firebox, damper, and smoke shelf are also thoroughly cleaned. We check for obstructions like bird nests or debris. Regular cleaning, typically annually, is advised based on usage, especially after periods of heavy use during Missouri winters.
Common questions
How often should a chimney be cleaned?
For homes in Missouri, especially near Kansas City where winters are cold, we recommend an annual inspection. The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you use your fireplace or wood stove. Heavy usage during the winter months may necessitate more frequent cleanings to prevent dangerous creosote buildup.
Will the fire department clean my chimney?
Fire departments are primarily focused on emergency services and do not typically provide chimney cleaning. If you need your chimney cleaned in the Kansas City area, it is best to contact a specialized service provider like us to ensure it is done safely and correctly.
