In New York, the heavy reliance on fireplaces and wood stoves for heat during extended winter months leads to significant creosote accumulation. Our cleaning process begins with a thorough inspection of the chimney's interior and exterior, checking for cracks or structural weaknesses. We then use professional-grade equipment, including rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums, to meticulously remove soot, creosote, and any debris, ensuring optimal draft and safety.
