Chimney Cleaning Process Burrillville

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system. Not just a quick look, but a real assessment of what’s going on inside your flue, around your damper, and up on your roof.

Then we protect your home. Drop cloths, plastic sheeting, whatever it takes to make sure your furniture and floors stay clean. We use professional-grade equipment designed for the job, not shop vacs and brushes from the hardware store.

The actual cleaning removes all the creosote, soot, and debris that’s built up since your last service. We check for blockages, damaged flue liner, and any structural issues that could cause problems down the road. When we’re finished, we walk you through what we found and give you straight answers about what needs attention and what can wait.

More Than Just Sweeping

Our chimney cleaning service includes everything you need for a safe, functional fireplace. We clean the entire flue system, inspect your damper operation, and check your chimney cap and screen for damage or blockages.

We also look at things other companies miss. The flue liner condition, proper clearances around combustibles, and whether your chimney is structurally sound. If we find issues, we explain them in plain English and give you options that make sense for your situation and budget.

Every cleaning comes with a detailed report of what we found and what we recommend. No surprises, no pressure, just the information you need to make good decisions about your home. And if you need repairs or upgrades, we handle those too, with the same attention to detail and quality workmanship.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual cleaning and inspection for regularly used fireplaces. If you burn wood frequently during winter months, you’ll likely need cleaning every year. Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning but should still be inspected annually for safety. The amount of creosote buildup depends on how often you use your fireplace, what type of wood you burn, and how well your chimney draws. We can give you a more specific timeline based on your actual usage and what we find during inspection.
Chimney cleaning costs vary based on the condition of your chimney, accessibility, and what additional services are needed. A standard cleaning for a well-maintained chimney typically runs less than major repairs would cost if problems go unaddressed. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. Our pricing is transparent – no hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment in regular cleaning is minimal compared to dealing with chimney fires, smoke damage, or major structural repairs that result from neglect.
Most chimney cleanings take 1-2 hours depending on the size of your chimney and how much buildup we’re dealing with. We don’t rush through the job, but we also don’t waste your time. The inspection portion happens first and takes about 30 minutes. The actual cleaning and final check usually takes another hour. If we discover issues that need immediate attention, we’ll discuss those with you before proceeding. We schedule appointments with enough time to do the job properly without feeling rushed.
Professional chimney cleaning shouldn’t create any mess in your home when done correctly. We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and industrial vacuum equipment specifically designed for chimney work. Our technicians are trained to contain dust and debris during the cleaning process. We clean up after ourselves and leave your home as clean as we found it. The days of soot-covered furniture and dusty rooms after chimney cleaning are over when you hire professionals with proper equipment and training.
While chimney cleaning might look straightforward, it requires specialized equipment, safety training, and knowledge of what to look for during inspection. Climbing on roofs and working with chimney systems involves real safety risks. More importantly, untrained cleaning can miss dangerous creosote buildup or structural issues that could lead to fires or carbon monoxide problems. Professional cleaning also includes inspection for problems that aren’t visible to homeowners. The cost of professional service is small compared to the risks of improper cleaning or missing safety issues.
If we discover issues during cleaning, we stop and explain what we found before proceeding. We’ll show you the problem, explain why it matters for your safety, and give you options for addressing it. Some issues need immediate attention, others can be planned for future maintenance. We provide written documentation of any problems and clear recommendations for next steps. You’re never pressured to authorize additional work on the spot. We can complete the cleaning and schedule repairs separately if that works better for your timeline and budget.
