We recommend annual cleaning for active fireplaces, especially if you burn wood regularly. The general rule is cleaning after every cord of wood burned, or at least every 2-3 years for occasional use.West Bay Shore’s climate adds extra wear to chimneys. Northeast weather conditions – storms, heat exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles – contribute to faster deterioration and debris accumulation. Gas fireplaces still need annual inspection even though they burn cleaner, as we check for blockages, proper venting, and component wear.If you use your fireplace frequently during Suffolk County’s cold winters, annual cleaning is essential for safety and performance.

Will chimney cleaning make a mess in my house?

Professional chimney cleaning should not be messy when done properly. We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and industrial vacuums with HEPA filtration to contain dust and debris throughout the process.The actual cleaning happens inside your flue, not in your living space. Most of our work is done from the roof and outside your home. You might hear some noise from brushing and vacuuming, but there shouldn’t be soot or debris in your house.We take containment seriously because we understand you don’t want to spend days cleaning up after us. Our team comes prepared with professional equipment designed specifically to keep the mess where it belongs – in the chimney, not your home.

Why can't I just clean my chimney myself?

DIY cleaning might remove some surface soot, but it won’t address the hard creosote buildup or identify safety problems that require professional attention. Creosote is highly flammable and requires specific techniques and equipment to remove safely.Professional chimney sweeps also perform critical safety inspections during cleaning. We check for damaged flue liners, broken dampers, chimney cap problems, and structural issues that could cause carbon monoxide leaks or chimney fires. These problems aren’t visible from ground level.The equipment rental and cleanup time usually costs almost as much as professional service anyway. More importantly, climbing on your roof and working inside a chimney system carries serious safety risks that professionals are trained and equipped to handle.
