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.

About this service

A chimney sweep uses specialized brushes, vacuums, and inspection cameras to scrub the inside of your chimney flue. This process clears out flammable creosote and nesting materials left by birds or squirrels. You need this service if you use your fireplace regularly or if it has been over a year since your last inspection. Regular sweeps keep your home safe from chimney fires and ensure that dangerous gases are effectively carried away from your living space.
