Chimney Sweep Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your chimney from top to bottom. We’re looking for structural issues, blockages, and creosote buildup levels. No surprises, no upselling – just an honest assessment of what your chimney needs.

Next comes the actual cleaning. We use professional-grade equipment to remove creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney liner and smoke chamber. We protect your home with drop cloths and use proper containment methods.

Finally, we do a post-cleaning inspection to make sure everything is working properly. You get a clear explanation of what we found, what we did, and any recommendations for future maintenance. Most cleanings take 1-2 hours depending on your chimney’s condition.

More Than Just Basic Cleaning

Our chimney cleaning service covers everything that affects your fireplace’s performance and safety. We clean the firebox, smoke chamber, and entire chimney liner. We check your damper operation and inspect your chimney cap and crown.

We also handle fireplace cleaning service for gas and wood-burning units. If you have a wood stove or pellet stove, we clean and service those too. Our retail stove store means we understand how these systems work and what they need to operate safely.

Every cleaning includes a safety inspection. We’re looking for cracks, deterioration, or other issues that could create problems. You get honest feedback about your chimney’s condition and realistic timelines for any needed repairs.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned in Rhode Island?

Most chimneys in Rhode Island should be cleaned annually if you use your fireplace regularly during winter months. If you burn more than a cord of wood per season, you might need cleaning twice a year. The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends cleaning when creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch thickness. We can assess your specific usage patterns and recommend the right schedule. Factors like the type of wood you burn, how well-seasoned it is, and how often you use your fireplace all affect how quickly creosote accumulates.

What does chimney cleaning cost in Smithfield area?

Chimney cleaning cost typically ranges from $200-400 for a standard cleaning, depending on your chimney’s height, condition, and accessibility. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start work. The cost includes full inspection, cleaning, and a detailed report of your chimney’s condition. If we find issues during cleaning that need immediate attention for safety reasons, we’ll discuss options with you before doing any additional work. We offer in-house financing for larger projects and work with your budget when possible.

How do I know if my chimney needs cleaning right now?

You need chimney cleaning if you notice white staining on your chimney exterior, animals or birds in your chimney, or smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney. A strong odor coming from your fireplace, especially during humid weather, usually means creosote buildup. If it’s been more than a year since your last cleaning, or if you can’t remember when it was last cleaned, it’s time. We can do a quick inspection to determine if cleaning is needed immediately or if you can wait until your regular maintenance schedule.

Do you clean chimneys for gas fireplaces too?

Yes, gas fireplaces need regular cleaning and inspection even though they don’t produce creosote like wood-burning fireplaces. Gas units can develop carbon buildup, and the venting system can get blocked by debris, bird nests, or other obstructions. We clean the firebox, check the gas connections, inspect the venting system, and make sure your gas fireplace is operating safely. Gas fireplace cleaning should be done annually to maintain proper operation and prevent carbon monoxide issues. Our technicians are trained on all types of fireplace systems.

What happens if you find problems during the cleaning?

We’ll stop and explain what we found before continuing with any additional work. Most of the time, cleaning reveals minor issues like a damper that needs adjustment or a chimney cap that needs tightening. For safety-critical problems like cracks in the liner or structural damage, we’ll prioritize what needs immediate attention versus what can be scheduled for later. You’ll get a written report detailing any issues and our recommendations. We never do surprise work or charge for services you didn’t approve. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make good decisions about your chimney.

Are your technicians actually certified for chimney work?

Yes, our technicians are CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America. CSI certification requires extensive training on chimney construction, safety standards, and proper cleaning techniques. Most chimney companies don’t have CSI certified staff – they rely on basic training or experience alone. CSI certification means we follow industry standards for inspection procedures, cleaning methods, and safety protocols. You can verify our certifications, and we’re happy to show you our credentials. This certification is why we catch problems other companies miss and why our cleaning lasts longer.
