Chimney Cleaning Process

Thorough Cleaning, No Surprises

We start with a comprehensive inspection to assess your chimney’s condition and identify any safety concerns. Our certified technicians check for creosote buildup, blockages, structural issues, and compliance with New Jersey regulations.

Next comes the actual cleaning. We protect your home with drop cloths, seal the fireplace opening, and use professional-grade equipment to remove all debris, soot, and creosote from the flue, smoke chamber, and damper. Our triple HEPA filtration system captures everything—no mess left behind.

We finish with a final inspection and provide you with written documentation that meets New Jersey’s annual inspection requirements. You’ll know exactly what we found, what we cleaned, and what (if anything) needs attention in the future. No guesswork, no surprises—just the clear information you need to make informed decisions about your chimney’s safety.

We’re not just cleaning your chimney—we’re protecting your investment and your family’s safety with the kind of thoroughness that comes from four decades of local experience.

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

New Jersey law requires annual chimney inspections by qualified professionals, and cleaning should be done whenever needed based on usage and buildup. If you use your fireplace regularly (3-4 times per week during burning season), annual cleaning is typically necessary.The frequency also depends on what you burn. Wood-burning fireplaces generate more creosote than gas units, requiring more frequent cleaning. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, annual inspection is still required to check for animal nests, structural issues, or other problems that could affect safety.We recommend scheduling your cleaning in late summer or early fall, before the heating season begins. This ensures your chimney is ready when you need it and avoids the rush when everyone suddenly realizes they need service.

How do I know if my chimney needs cleaning?

Several signs indicate your chimney needs professional attention. White staining on the outside of your chimney (efflorescence) suggests moisture problems. Smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney indicates blockages or draft issues.A strong odor from your fireplace, especially during humid weather, often means creosote buildup. Animals or birds in your chimney create obvious noise and can block the flue. Rust on the damper or firebox indicates moisture problems that need addressing.Even without obvious signs, New Jersey requires annual inspections. Creosote buildup isn’t always visible from below, and many safety issues can only be detected by trained professionals with proper equipment. Regular cleaning prevents small problems from becoming expensive repairs.
