Chimney Sweep Service | Chimney Monkey

A routine chimney sweep keeps your fireplace safe and efficient. Over time, creosote, soot, and debris build up inside the flue. As a result, fire risk rises and indoor air quality can drop. Moreover, animals, leaves, and weather can create hidden blockages even if you burn only a few times a year.

Why an Annual Chimney Sweep Matters

The National Fire Protection Association recommends yearly inspections and cleanings. Therefore, if you can’t remember the last service, it’s time. In addition, regular care helps prevent smoke backup, carbon monoxide concerns, and costly repairs.

What Our Chimney Sweep Includes

• Full inspection: We check the flue, cap, crown, and exterior for damage.
• Thorough cleaning: We brush and vacuum the liner, firebox, smoke chamber, and damper to remove creosote and soot.
• Safety testing: We verify clear airflow and proper draft.
• Honest recommendations: If we see issues, we explain next steps—no pressure.

Signs You Need a Chimney Sweep

• Burning wood smells strong even when the fireplace is off.
• Black flakes or soot fall into the firebox.
• Smoke spills into the room, especially at startup.
• Animals or debris are visible near the cap.
