How we keep chimney cleaning tidy and clear
If you suspect a fire inside the flue
A loud roar from the chimney, sparks falling from the top or dense smoke pouring into the room can mean the deposits have caught fire. Get everyone out of the house at once. From outside, call 911 and wait for the fire department. Stay out, and do not go back in for belongings.
Once responders have finished, leave the fireplace unused. Heat from a flue fire can crack tiles and mortar in places no one can see from the room. A cleaning and a closer look at the lining should come before any further fire.
Fireplace cleaning versus chimney cleaning
People use fireplace cleaning and chimney cleaning to mean different things. On our estimate, the fireplace side covers the firebox, the grate area, the throat and the hearth. The chimney side covers the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, the flue and the cap screen.
Most visits include both, but you can ask for one without the other. Tell us what you had in mind when you called. The written scope then uses the same words, so there is no confusion afterward about what was cleaned.
Chimney cleaning in a rented home
In a rented home, the person living there and the person who owns the house may both want a say. Tell us who approves the work and who should receive the written record. We can share the estimate with both if that is what you prefer.
The tenant can help with access and describe how the fireplace has been used. The owner decides on repairs. Keeping those roles clear avoids work being approved by someone who cannot pay for it or refused by someone who does not use it.
Parts shared by several flues at the top
Where several flues end on one chimney, they may share a crown and sometimes a single wide cap. Soot from one flue can collect on a screen that covers all of them. Cleaning the cap screen then helps every flue beneath it.
We clear the shared screen when it can be reached and say which flues it serves. If the cap needs repair, the estimate explains which openings are affected. A damaged shared cap can let rain or animals into a flue you do not use.

Chimney sweep visit questions answered
Do I need to be home for the whole cleaning?
Someone should be there to let us in, confirm the scope and hear the results. In between, you can step out if we can reach you by phone. Any new item waits for your answer rather than being added.
Do you haul away the soot and debris?
Yes. Everything that comes down is bagged at the fireplace, and anything that falls on the roof is gathered too. It all leaves with us when the work area is cleaned up.
Can you sweep the chimney if the damper is stuck?
Often we can clean around it, depending on where it is stuck. We will not force it, because that can bend the frame. A stuck damper is noted and priced as a separate repair.
