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

Chimney cleaning requires specialized equipment, safety training, and knowledge of building codes that most homeowners don’t have.

What's the difference between chimney sweeping and chimney inspection?

Chimney sweeping is the physical cleaning process that removes creosote, debris, and blockages from your chimney. Chimney inspection is the safety evaluation that checks for damage, proper ventilation, and code compliance.Professional chimney service includes both – we clean your chimney and inspect it for problems during the same visit. This combination approach catches issues early and ensures your fireplace is both clean and safe to use.Some companies offer cleaning without thorough inspection, but that’s like washing your car without checking the brakes. You need both services to protect your home and family from fire hazards and carbon monoxide risks.
