Don’t Let Creosote Become a Fire Hazard
What Type Of Chimneys Should Be Cleaned?
Cleaning Your Chimney
Have A Chimney? If Yes, You Will Need It Cleaned
Both wood-burning chimneys and those venting fuel-burning appliances, such as gas or oil-fired boilers, furnaces, or water heaters, should be regularly inspected and cleaned. This helps prevent dangerous buildups of creosote, soot, and other residues that can cause chimney fires or blockages. Regular maintenance ensures proper ventilation and the safe operation of your heating systems.
Gas & Oil Appliance Safety
Although Creosote Isn't A Problem With Gas or Oil, There Are Other Possible Safety Concerns
- OIL BURNING APPLIANCES STILL HAVE SOOT BUILD UP THAT CAN BLOCK THE CHIMNEY AND CAUSE DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE TO LEAK IN THE HOME
- BOTH GAS AND OIL BYPRODUCTS CAN COMBINE WITH WATER THAT CONDENSES FROM THE EXHAUST TO CREATE A SOLUTION THAT IS CORROSIVE ENOUGH TO DAMAGE THE FLUE LINER AND EVENTUALLY, FLUE GASSES INTO YOUR HOME
- BUILD UP ON THE CHIMNEY FLUE RESTRICTS AIR FLOW CAUSING THE APPLIANCE AND/OR BOILERS TO MALFUNCTION OR BURN RICHER
Clean, Controlled, and Thorough
Our Chimney Cleaning Process
Step One
First, the hose from our power vacuum truck is hooked into the base of the chimney.
Step Two
Next, the technician will go to the place where the chimney exits.
Step Three
Then, the technician will use a chimney brush and clean the entire flue from top to bottom as our vacuum truck removes any debris.
Step Four
Additionally, the technician will inspect the chimney cap to ensure it is in good working condition. If not, the technician will recommend a replacement.
Step Five
As the soot and debris becomes dislodged, the negative suction pulls it back into the vacuum truck. Leaving no mess behind, ensuring a proper chimney cleaning.

They also help retain the conditioned air inside your home, improving energy efficiency.
