A fireplace can make winter feel more bearable, but only if it’s clean and working the way it should. If you don’t deal with the buildup, soot will start to block airflow and increase fire risk. Fireplace cleaning keeps the system breathing and your home protected. The Fireplace Technician team can handle the dirty work to prepare your fireplace for the next cold snap.
Why clean your fireplace?
Over time, soot and debris build up inside
your fireplace, reducing its efficiency and increasing safety risks. One of the
biggest concerns is creosote — that sticky, tar-like residue that clings to
chimney walls after burning wood. It hardens and becomes highly flammable if
it’s left to accumulate, raising the risk of a chimney fire.
How often should you clean your fireplace?
Experts recommend fireplace cleaning
and chimney inspections at least once a year. If you have a wood-burning
fireplace, it’s good practice to clean after burning one or two cords of wood
to prevent creosote build-up. Even when you don’t use it frequently, scheduling
regular inspections helps keep it working safely and effectively.

Leave the job to our pros.
Though it might seem cheaper, it’s never a
good idea to try to clean your fireplace yourself because you might miss
critical issues. A fireplace cleaning
professional will check all the parts that affect your unit’s safety and
performance, not
just what’s visible. Besides cleaning visible debris, we also check for hidden
issues like cracks in the chimney liner or blockages from nests and other
obstructions. By addressing these problems early, we can prevent bigger and
more expensive problems down the road.
