How We Clean Your Chimney
We begin cleaning all woods stoves and fireplaces first by laying out a clean tarp. All tools and equipment are then placed on the tarp, rather than on your carpet. Prior to any brushing of the chimney flue, we place a powerful vacuum hose in the opening of the firebox, or at the opening of the wood stove to catch any potential airborne particles. After completely cleaning your chimney flue, smoke shelf, firebox and spark arrestor, we will also clean your glass fireplace doors and/or wood stove glass doors. Our commercial grade vacuums filter to .3 micron and never leave a mess. Our Chimney Inspection Report is emailed to you from our IPad as soon as the job is completed. Inspection reports vary depending on what type of system you have, and include photos.
What You Can Do For Us.
When having your chimney cleaned, be sure that all fires have been completely extinguished for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Please remove anything within 6-8 Ft of the fireplace, or wood stove being serviced. – Remember to keep large kitchen vent hoods & ceiling fans off when having your chimney cleaned. We also clean wood stoves and fireplaces in the back country. Call us with your tough to reach hunting cabins too! Additional rates may apply.

Why Chimneys Need Cleaning
The National Fire Protection Code 211 requires an annual safety inspection of all chimney systems. Here’s why: In a wood-burning system, incomplete combustion results in unburned residue which rises in the chimney as part of the smoke. This residue called creosote is deposited on the inside of the chimney walls, presenting a major fire hazard to the home. The United States Fire Administration (USFA) encourages you to practice fire safety steps to keep those home fires safely burning. Remember, fire safety is your personal responsibility …Fire Stops With You! Learn More about USFA tips on fireplace and home fire safety.
