With a Swoosh: Fireplace Cleaning, Your Fireplace Just As New!

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.
