We start by protecting your home. Drop cloths go down around your fireplace, and we set up our HEPA-filtered vacuum system designed specifically for soot and ash removal. Your furniture and floors stay clean. Next comes the actual chimney sweep. We use professional brushes and tools to remove all creosote, soot, and debris from your flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. This isn’t a quick surface cleaning – we get everything that could cause problems. After cleaning, we inspect your chimney’s structure. We look for cracks in the liner, damaged mortar joints, and any signs of previous fires you might not know about. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your safety.
