Professional Chimney Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we protect your home. Multiple layers of drop cloths around your fireplace, HEPA-filtered vacuums designed specifically for soot and ash removal. Your living space stays clean. Then we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We’re looking for creosote buildup, structural issues, blockages, anything that could cause problems. We take photos so you can see exactly what we’re dealing with. The cleaning itself removes all that dangerous creosote and soot using professional-grade equipment. We clear any blockages, check your damper, inspect your flue liner. When we’re done, your chimney is safe to use and operating at peak efficiency.

Somerset Chimney Maintenance

What You Get With Every Service

Every chimney cleaning includes a complete inspection of your system. We check your chimney cap, flue liner, damper, and all masonry work. If we find issues, we explain them clearly and give you honest recommendations. Somerset’s coastal climate means your chimney faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates deterioration of metal components. Moisture can penetrate masonry joints. We know what to look for and how to address these local conditions. You also get our guarantee that your home will be left exactly as we found it – clean and protected. No soot on your furniture, no mess in your living room. Just a properly functioning chimney that’s safe for your family to use.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned in Somerset?

If you use your fireplace regularly, annual cleaning is essential. Somerset’s coastal environment can accelerate creosote buildup, especially with the moisture levels we see here in Bristol County. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections for all chimneys, with cleaning based on usage. Wood-burning fireplaces used frequently need cleaning every year. Even if you only use your fireplace occasionally, annual inspection ensures there are no blockages from birds, debris, or structural issues that could cause problems.

What's the difference between cleaning and inspection?

Cleaning removes creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney. Inspection examines the entire system for safety issues, structural problems, and needed repairs. We always combine both services because cleaning a damaged chimney can make problems worse. Our inspection covers your flue liner, damper, chimney cap, masonry work, and all connections. If we find issues, we explain them clearly and give you honest recommendations for repairs.

How do I know if my chimney needs cleaning?

White staining on your chimney exterior, smoke entering your room instead of going up the flue, or strong odors from your fireplace are all signs you need cleaning. You might also notice animals or birds in your chimney, difficulty starting fires, or a damper that won’t open properly. If you see any of these signs, stop using your fireplace immediately and call for service. Continuing to use a blocked or damaged chimney can create dangerous conditions.

Will chimney cleaning make a mess in my house?

Not when it’s done right. We use multiple layers of drop cloths around your fireplace and HEPA-filtered vacuums specifically designed for soot and ash removal. Our process ensures no dust or debris escapes during cleaning. We’ve been doing this for twenty years, and we know how to protect your home. When we’re finished, your living space will be exactly as clean as when we arrived.

How long does chimney cleaning take?

Most chimney cleanings take 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the condition of your system and any issues we discover. If we find problems that need immediate attention, we’ll discuss them with you first. Simple cleanings go quickly. More complex situations – like heavy creosote buildup or blockages – take longer but are necessary for your safety.

What happens if you find problems during cleaning?

We stop the cleaning process and explain exactly what we found. You’ll see photos of any issues, and we’ll give you clear, honest recommendations for repairs. We never surprise you with unexpected charges or pressure you into repairs. If your chimney needs work, we’ll explain why it’s necessary and what happens if you delay. Your safety is our priority, but the decisions are always yours to make.
