Your Fireplace Works Like It Should

You light a fire and actually enjoy it. No smoke backing up into your living room. No worrying about creosote buildup or chimney fires keeping you awake at night.

That’s what happens when your chimney gets cleaned the right way. Your fireplace draws properly, burns efficiently, and gives you the warmth and ambiance you want without the safety concerns that come with neglected chimneys.

Clean chimneys also mean lower heating costs when you’re using your fireplace. Proper airflow makes your fires burn hotter with less wood, and you’re not losing heat up a blocked or dirty flue.

How often should I have my chimney swept in New Shoreham?

Most homeowners in New Shoreham should have their chimney swept annually, especially if you use your fireplace regularly during the winter months. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual cleaning and inspection for wood-burning fireplaces. If you only use your fireplace occasionally, you might be able to go longer between cleanings, but an annual inspection is still important to catch any problems early. New Shoreham’s coastal environment can accelerate wear on chimney components, making regular maintenance even more critical.
Chimney sweep costs in New Shoreham typically range from $150 to $300, depending on the condition of your chimney and what needs to be done. A basic cleaning for a well-maintained chimney costs less than a deep cleaning for a heavily used fireplace with significant creosote buildup. Additional services like damper repairs or chimney cap replacement cost extra. We provide free estimates, so you’ll know exactly what the work costs before any cleaning begins. We also offer in-house financing for larger projects.
Several signs indicate your chimney needs cleaning: white staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, a strong odor coming from the fireplace, or smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney. You might also notice animals or birds in the chimney, or see creosote buildup that looks like black tar on the damper or firebox walls. If it’s been more than a year since your last cleaning, or if you’ve used your fireplace regularly, it’s time for a professional inspection and cleaning.
Professional chimney sweeping shouldn’t be messy when done correctly. Our certified technicians use drop cloths to protect your floors and furniture, and industrial-grade vacuums to contain soot and debris during the cleaning process. The work area is sealed off to prevent dust from spreading throughout your home. We take precautions to leave your home as clean as we found it. The actual cleaning process is done from both the top and bottom of the chimney to ensure thorough removal of all debris without making a mess.
Chimney cleaning removes creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney flue, while chimney inspection examines the entire chimney system for damage, wear, or safety issues. A basic cleaning focuses on removing buildup that could cause fires or poor ventilation. An inspection looks at the chimney structure, flue liner, damper, chimney cap, and other components to identify problems that need repair. We include a basic inspection with every cleaning, since you can’t properly clean a chimney without examining its condition first.
While it’s technically possible to clean your own chimney, it’s not recommended for most homeowners. Proper chimney cleaning requires specialized equipment, knowledge of chimney systems, and the ability to identify safety hazards that untrained eyes might miss. Climbing on your roof also presents serious safety risks. Professional chimney sweeps have the training to spot problems like cracked flue liners, damaged mortar joints, or structural issues that could lead to dangerous situations. Our CSI certified technicians also know local building codes and can ensure your chimney meets current safety standards.
