 The importance of regular chimney maintenance is emphasized by the National Fire Protection Association. The National Fire Protection Association requires homeowners to have their chimney inspected at least once a year.

 Chimney Sweeping is necessary to remove creosote deposits and other debris from chimneys and vents. Creosote buildup in chimneys can lead to chimney fires and or flue blockages. Creosote is highly flammable. When it's allowed to build up, the result could be a chimney fire.

 We employ a variety of cleaning techniques to remove chimney deposits. The method chosen or recommended for your chimney will depend on the type of deposits and type of chimney.

Chimney Safety Institute of America

 Standard Sweeping: This is the standard or basic cleaning process method and involves the use of brushes to remove deposits on the chimney flue liner. A powerful well filtered vacuum is used to prevent soot and creosote from entering the home. These type of sweeping/cleaning is effective for soot and ordinary creosote deposits, but has little effect on glaze or 3rd stage creosote deposits.

 Mechanical Cleaning/Rokleen: Mechanical cleaning involves the use of wire brushes, plastic cables, or special chains rotated at a high speed by an electric motor. Mechanical cleaning is often employed to remove hard creosote or glaze deposits.

 Chemical Cleaning: Special chemicals are used to loosen or dissolve heavy deposits of creosote and glaze. This can be used in conjunction with a mechanical cleaning.


 National Fire Protection Association has developed 3 Levels of Inspection Procedures. The circumstances which give rise to the inspection determine what level of inspection is to be conducted.

 Preventative maintenance is always more cost-effective than making repairs that could have been avoided. Annual chimney sweeping and inspections are critical for regularly used chimneys. Even if used occasionally, a chimney system should be routinely inspected.

 Benefits of routine chimney inspections and maintenance:

  • Assure chimney integrity for all fuels: oil, gas, wood or coal

  • Catch problems before they cause expensive repairs

  • Monitor changes over time-like seeing a dentist regularly

  • Protect your home investment

  • Increase the safety and performance of your heating appliance
