Why Regular Chimney & Dryer Vent Maintenance Is Essential

Many homeowners don’t realize the importance of regular chimney and dryer vent maintenance. Over time, soot, debris, and creosote can build up in your chimney, restricting airflow and increasing the risk of a chimney fire. Similarly, dryer vents accumulate lint that not only reduces your dryer’s efficiency but also presents a serious fire hazard.

When you hire us, you’re not just getting a chimney sweeping—you’re investing in the safety of your home. Chimney fires can cause significant damage to your home, while blocked dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires. Our services help reduce these risks, keeping your home and family safe.

Our Services

Basic Chimney Services

Do you have a smoky or smelly fireplace? If so, you may need our basic chimney service. A blocked or dirty chimney can lead to dangerous buildups that not only affect the efficiency of your fireplace but also pose a potential fire hazard.

Our basic chimney services include a level 1 inspection (visual), where we carefully examine the accessible portions of your chimney. We’ll also give you valuable tips on how to maintain and use your fireplace more effectively. And don’t worry, we always deliver a no-mess guarantee, ensuring that your home remains as clean as when we arrived.

Full Chimney Services

For those who want to go beyond the basics, our full chimney service includes everything our basic service offers—plus a level 2 video scan of the entire flue system. This video inspection allows us to thoroughly examine the internal structure of your chimney and spot any hidden issues that a visual inspection might miss.

We highly recommend this service whenever possible, as it gives you a deeper understanding of the condition of your chimney, ensuring the long-term safety of your home.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

If your laundry is taking forever to dry, it’s probably time for a dryer vent cleaning. Lint and debris buildup in dryer vents is not only inefficient but also a fire hazard. Even the smallest blockages can lead to dangerous overheating and fires.

We keep it simple: one price for any vent, regardless of its length, number of elbows, or where it exits. We’ll get your dryer vent cleaned and your dryer running more efficiently in no time. And just like our other services, we offer a no-mess guarantee, ensuring your home stays clean throughout the process.

Chimney & Dryer Vent Combo

Looking for even more value? Our chimney and dryer vent combo is one of our most popular offerings. We combine our basic chimney sweep with a dryer vent cleaning all in one visit, saving you time and money. Dryer vents can become clogged with lint and debris over time, increasing the risk of a fire and reducing the efficiency of your dryer. If your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry, this combo service is exactly what you need.

Gas Log Installation

Gas logs can be a great alternative to traditional wood-burning fireplaces, and we make installation easy. If you’ve purchased gas logs, we’ll handle the installation and include a free level 1 inspection of your chimney.

Need help picking out gas logs or advice on what to buy? We’re happy to provide recommendations on the best options for your home and where to purchase them. We’ll make sure your gas logs are installed correctly, safely, and ready for use.

Chimney Repairs

Chimneys require regular maintenance, and over time, repairs may be needed to keep them functioning safely and efficiently. We offer a range of chimney repair services, including:

  • Rain Caps
  • Spark Arrestors
  • Firebox Repairs
  • Refractory Panel Replacement
  • Crown Repairs
  • Damper Clamps

These repairs are crucial in preventing water damage, protecting your home from potential sparks, and ensuring the overall integrity of your chimney system. Don’t wait until minor problems become big ones—let us handle your chimney repairs and keep your system running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often should I have my chimney cleaned?

We recommend having your chimney cleaned at least once a year, especially if you use your fireplace regularly. An annual cleaning helps remove dangerous creosote buildup, reduces the risk of chimney fires, and ensures your system is safe to use. If you notice any unusual odors or excessive smoke, it’s a good idea to schedule a sweep sooner.

2. What are the signs that my dryer vent needs cleaning?

If your clothes are taking longer to dry, especially over 60 minutes, or if you notice excessive heat coming from the dryer, it’s likely time to have your dryer vent cleaned. Other signs include a burning smell, the dryer feeling excessively hot to the touch, or lint accumulating around the vent opening. Keeping your dryer vent clean not only improves efficiency but also significantly reduces the risk of a fire.

3. What’s the difference between a level 1 and level 2 chimney inspection?

A level 1 inspection is a basic visual check of the chimney and fireplace, ensuring everything is structurally sound and there are no visible blockages or damage. This is typically done during routine chimney cleaning. A level 2 inspection, on the other hand, includes a more detailed video scan of the entire flue system to detect any hidden issues or damage. We recommend a level 2 inspection if you’ve made any changes to the system, or if you’re buying or selling a home.
