Professional Chimney Cleaning Services

Your Fireplace Works Like It Should

You light your fireplace without worrying about smoke backing up into your living room. No more wondering if that smell is normal or if something’s wrong with your chimney.

Your family enjoys cozy fires while you have complete peace of mind about safety. Clean chimneys draw properly, burn efficiently, and don’t create the hazards that come with creosote buildup and blockages.

You also avoid the bigger problems that happen when chimneys go too long without proper cleaning. We’re talking about structural damage, expensive repairs, and the kind of issues that insurance companies ask hard questions about.

East Greenwich Chimney Experts

Two Decades of Getting It Right

We’ve been serving East Greenwich homeowners since 2000, with our company formally established in 2016. We’ve built our reputation on the same foundation that matters to you: quality work and professional service.

Our technicians are CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America. That means we know what we’re looking at when we inspect your chimney, and we know how to fix what’s wrong.

We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. You’re getting certified professionals who show up when we say we will, do the work right the first time, and treat your home with respect.

Our Chimney Sweeping Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system, from the firebox to the crown. This isn’t just about cleaning – we’re looking for any issues that could affect safety or performance.

Next comes the actual sweeping, using professional-grade equipment to remove creosote, debris, and any blockages. We protect your home with drop cloths and use containment systems to keep the mess where it belongs – not in your living room.

After cleaning, we inspect again to make sure everything looks right and your chimney is ready for safe use. You get a clear explanation of what we found, what we did, and any recommendations for future maintenance. No surprises, no pressure – just the information you need to make good decisions about your home.

Complete Chimney Sweep Services

More Than Just Basic Cleaning

Your chimney sweep includes a complete inspection of the chimney structure, flue liner, damper, and crown. We check for cracks, deterioration, and any signs of water damage that could lead to bigger problems down the road.

We remove all creosote buildup, which is the leading cause of chimney fires. East Greenwich’s older homes often have chimneys that haven’t been properly maintained, and we see the difference regular professional cleaning makes in both safety and performance.

You also get honest recommendations about any repairs or maintenance your chimney needs. We’re not here to sell you services you don’t need, but we will tell you about issues that could become expensive problems if left alone. Our goal is keeping your chimney working safely for years to come.

How much does chimney sweeping cost in East Greenwich?

Chimney sweeping costs in East Greenwich typically range from $200 to $400, depending on the condition of your chimney and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start work. The investment is worth it when you consider that regular cleaning prevents the much more expensive problems that come from neglected chimneys – like structural damage, chimney fires, or carbon monoxide issues. We’re upfront about pricing because we want you to make an informed decision about your home’s safety.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, with cleaning as needed based on use. If you burn wood regularly, you’ll likely need cleaning every year. Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning but still require annual inspections for safety. Here in East Greenwich, we see many homeowners who use their fireplaces heavily during our cold winters, and those chimneys definitely need annual attention. The frequency also depends on what you burn – hardwoods create less creosote than softwoods, and wet or unseasoned wood creates more buildup that requires more frequent cleaning.

What happens if I don't clean my chimney regularly?

Skipping regular chimney cleaning leads to creosote buildup, which is highly flammable and the leading cause of chimney fires. You’ll also get poor draft, which means smoke backing up into your home instead of going up the chimney. Over time, you’re looking at structural damage from water infiltration, expensive repairs to the chimney liner, and potential carbon monoxide issues. Insurance companies are also asking more questions about chimney maintenance after claims, so regular professional cleaning protects you there too. The cost of prevention is always less than the cost of fixing problems after they happen.

Can I clean my chimney myself or should I hire professionals?

Chimney cleaning requires specialized equipment, safety knowledge, and the ability to spot potential problems that untrained eyes miss. You’re working on a roof, dealing with hazardous materials like creosote, and you need to know what signs of damage or deterioration look like. DIY chimney cleaning often misses the thorough inspection that catches small problems before they become expensive ones. Our CSI certified technicians have the training to do the job safely and completely. Plus, if something goes wrong during DIY cleaning – like damaging the flue liner – you’re looking at repair costs that far exceed what professional cleaning would have cost.

Do you provide chimney inspections along with cleaning services?

Yes, every chimney sweep includes a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system. We’re looking at the structure, flue liner, damper, crown, and checking for any signs of damage or deterioration. This isn’t an add-on service – it’s part of doing the job right. Many problems we catch during inspections are things homeowners would never notice until they become serious issues. We document what we find and explain any concerns in plain language, so you understand exactly what’s going on with your chimney. If repairs are needed, we’ll give you honest recommendations and time frames, but there’s never pressure to do additional work.

What should I do to prepare for chimney sweeping service?

Clear the area around your fireplace and remove any decorative items from the mantel. We’ll handle protecting your furniture and flooring with drop cloths, but having the immediate area clear helps us work efficiently. Make sure we have access to your roof – move any outdoor furniture or decorations that might be in the way. If you have pets, plan to keep them in another part of the house during the work. The process isn’t overly messy when done by professionals with proper equipment, but there will be some noise and activity. We’ll walk through everything with you before we start so you know what to expect.
