What affects the price

The final price for your chimney service depends on a few straightforward factors. We look at the total height of your chimney, the level of creosote buildup inside the flue, and the specific type of fireplace or wood stove you have installed. If your system requires extra repairs, damper adjustments, or a specialized animal nest removal, that will naturally adjust the total. We believe in transparency, so you will get your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Similar to standard chimney services, this focuses on clearing the chimney cap and flue to ensure proper ventilation. If your chimney cap is clogged with leaves, debris, or bird nests, it can force smoke back into your home. A professional cleaning clears these obstructions, allowing your chimney to 'breathe' again. You should request this if you hear animals in the chimney or see visible debris.

With cooler temperatures arriving, fall is the most popular time to prepare your chimney. We recommend a cleaning and safety check before you light that first fire of the season. Getting ahead of the cold weather ensures your chimney is free of bird nests or blockages that may have formed over the summer. Call us now to secure your spot.
