Professional Chimney Cleaning Long Beach

Your Fireplace Works Like It Should

You light a fire and it burns clean. No smoke backing up into your living room. No worries about creosote buildup or blockages that could start a house fire.

That’s what happens when your chimney gets cleaned by someone who knows what they’re doing. Your fireplace draws properly, burns efficiently, and gives you the warmth and ambiance you want without the safety risks.

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

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney system, checking for damage, blockages, or safety issues. This includes looking at the flue, damper, crown, and cap from top to bottom.

Next comes the actual cleaning. We use professional-grade equipment to remove creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney walls and flue. Everything gets contained with drop cloths and protective coverings so your home stays clean.

Finally, we do a post-cleaning inspection to make sure everything is clear and functioning properly. You get a detailed report of what we found, what we cleaned, and any recommendations for repairs or maintenance. No surprises, no upselling – just honest assessment of your chimney’s condition.

If you burn more than a cord of wood per year, you might need cleaning twice annually.The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection and cleaning for all chimneys, regardless of use frequency.

Level 2 inspections use cameras to examine hard-to-reach areas and are recommended when you’re buying a home or after weather damage.We include a basic inspection with every cleaning service, but if we find potential issues, we’ll recommend a more detailed inspection to ensure your chimney is completely safe to use.
